Hello.
I know that Java has a garbage collector. What happens
in JGnat with the memory allocated through new? Must be
freed with unchecked dealloc. or is garbage-collected
by the JVM? Or is configurable this behavior?
I have not installed JGnat, so sorry if this is answered
in documentation.

The documentation is silent on this aspect of JGNAT--but then it's
silent on a number of other topics of interest as well :-(
Though I've little hard data for this belief, I've taken it that
programs compiled with JGNAT are appropriately garbage-collected when
executed on a JVM. The documentation does say that class files
generated with JGNAT are interoperable with those generated by javac, so
to me that implies comparable behavior.
