None, unless you make one yourself. The name graphicly emphasises the point that
this is an dangerous operation, and you could be hosing yourself if you aren't
careful (eg: Deallocating memory that you will need later, deallocating memory
that has already been deallocated, deallocating memory on the stack, etc). Ada
(unlike many lesser languages) worries about safety, and performing your own
manual deallocations is inherently unsafe.

As a matter of fact, the entire language is organized in a way to greatly reduce
your need for dynamic allocation. If you are an Ada newbie and find yourself
wanting to do dynamic allocation, you are probably doing something *wrong*.
