Marc asks about static variables in Ada.

Unlike C, Ada always requires that the lifetime of a variable match the
corresponding lifetime of its declaration.

Static variables a la C violate this rule of course.

Howver, it is absolutely standard practice to get exactly this same
effect by simply including the necessary variables at the package
body level (i.e. put them in the package body in which your procedure
bodyt is declared).
