GNAT was originally developed by the GNAT team at New York University. It is now maintained by Ada Core Technologies Inc (http://www.gnat.com).

The debug pool is used to track down memory corruption due to use of deallocated memory or incorrect unchecked conversions. Allocation strategy : - allocation: . memory is normally allocated with malloc . the allocated address is noted in a table - deallocation: . memory is filled with "DEAD_BEEF" patterns . memory is not freed . exceptions are raised if the memory was not allocated or was already deallocated - dereference: . exceptions are raised if the memory was not allocated or was already deallocated
