Subject: Why does `Unchecked_Deallocation` need the access type?
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2015 00:11:22 -0700 (PDT)
Date: 2015-07-26T00:11:22-07:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d81befff-eae1-4b0f-9b96-67ebbe48f190@googlegroups.com> (raw)

The `Free` procedure to deallocate an object is declared like this:


procedure Free is
    new Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation(Object_Type, Object_Access_Type);


Yet the access parameter seems redundant.  Why is it necessary to specify it?
