Ada95 has several additional capabilites to guard against memory leaks.
It is possible to bypass most checks in Ada, so one could encounter
just as much trouble in Ada if one attempted to transliterate a C
program into Ada while retaining every aspect of the C design.

If you call from Ada to C, the portion that is written in C is
fully empowered to leak all the memory it wants :-)  Thus the
question of memory leaks when doing that boils down to an
issue of whether the C code is well written.
