The file g-regexp.ads starts with this code (after snipping away the comments) with Ada.Finalization; package GNAT.Regexp is And also very interestingly, these source files files are under the GNAT modified GPL license, so you can simply take them and compile them with your Ada compiler of choice and then use them. Instead of wasting several days reinventing the wheel. Would you have said the same if the regex had been a different library?
