Funny, this is probably the most frequently asked question about Ada.
The answer is to declare the variable in a static scope, ie in a package
spec or body:
package P is
A_Static_Variable : Integer;
end;
P is a library level declaration of a package. It lives as long as the
application does, so any variables there are equivalent to C static
variables.
