Not sure why those would be an issue. We did Ada tasks on MS-DOS (no support
for anything there). Nothing hard about doing tagged types, either. It's
surely possible to treat the JVM as just another processor. [Interfacing
might be interesting, but you didn't ask about that!] Unchecked_Deallocation
doesn't have to do anything other than the finalization and nulling of the
pointer, and on a garbage-collected target machine, doing nothing probably
is appropriate.
So it's surely possible. (Intemetrics used to have a JVM Ada compiler, I
think it was validated, so it was complete Ada 95.)
Randy.
