Mats asks

<<Interesting. But what happens to the task-local sub-storage when the
task terminates ?

Is there a paper or other documentation where I can find information
about how memory allocation problems are solved in GNAT ?>>


To the first question: nothing special, you certainly cannot free it
in general, since the values may be referenced from other tasks.

To the second, memory management in GNAT is pretty straightforwardly
understood from the sources. You may also find the use of -gnatdg
helpful in studying the generated code, as well as styding the coding
of the standard storage pools.
