Where, please, does it say that? There is nothing in the standard that prevents a GC. Fact is however that no current compiler implements one because of induced problems in real-time systems by unpredictable timing. Note that there is a pragma Controlled that prevents automatic GC. So far this pragma is void for current compilers. So at least your statement is correct that you should clean up things yourself.
