The following seems to compile fine on my system. What problem do you have
exactly?
with Ada.Finalization;
generic
type Element_Type is private;
package Bug_List is
type List is new Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with private;
-- Insert E at the current location.
procedure Insert (L: in out List;
E: in Element_Type);
private
type Node;
type Link is access Node;
type Node is record V:Element_Type; N:Link; end record;
type List is new Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with
record
H:Link;
end record;
procedure Initialize(L:in out List);
procedure Finalize (L:in out List);
end;
By the way, just a day ago I submitted an example of a "simple controlled
list" to AdaPower (to accompany my example of a simple polymorphic list).
I don't think it is there yet but I guess it should be soon. You may want
to take it and start from there.

Hello!
I'm trying to make a generic list package, and since I implement
the list as a linked list I want to use a controlled type for it to prevent
memory leaks. However GNAT (and I assume Ada) doesn't allow me to declare
a controlled type inside a generic package. So I wonder if someone has a
nice solution to this problem.
with Ada.Finalization;
generic
type Element_Type is private;
package List is
type List is new Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with private;
-- Insert E at the current location.
procedure Insert (L: in out List;
E: in Element_Type);
...
