Nick asked
"Following the topic -- does GNAT Ada95 compiler (for Win95)
support the GC?
Thanks in advance, Nick."
Well I guess you have not been following it *too* carefully, or you would
know the answer. As I have discussed several times, GNAT does not implement
GC for a simple reason, it is not something our customers are asking for.
Yes I understand the enthusiasts are sure that implementing GC will bring
flocks of new customers but I am not convinced (note that we go through
examples of this all the time, people are always convinced that we should
implement their favorite feature in GNAT and fund the implementation
ourselves because we will get scads of extra paying users :-)
It's certainly on the list as a future possible enhancement, in fact we
have done quite a bit of work studying the issue of whether we can provide
a special garbage collected storage pool.
But right now we are much more busy with things that are customers do
want, and that will *definitely* attract more userss, notably validation!
