Hey there,

since there is an allocator 'new' in Ada, I was wondering if there is a 
'delete' too. I've heard there is a special technique called Storage 
Pool in Ada to write own memory managers, but what is the default 
deallocator?

Consider this code:

procedure Does_This_Leak is
    type Int_Ptr is access Integer;
    ptr: Int_Ptr;
begin
    ptr := new Integer;
end Does_This_Leak;

Will this procedure leak? Or does Ada somehow deal on its own with the 
allocation.

Thanks in advance,
Matthias
