"As I found out during my research, it is perfectly possible to add a
very efficient garbage collector to GNAT with only some very small
changes to the run-time library. Hopefully this situation won't be
changed by a small optimization like using virtual origins."


Geert, virtual origins are a BIG win for many programs, what makes you
say it is a small optimization ...
