Ada Programming/Pragmas/Controlled
Pragma Controlled is an old Ada 83 pragma that was never implemented by any compiler. Consequently, it was finally removed with Ada 2012.
The pragma was meant to prevent garbage collectors (also never implemented by any compiler) from tampering with the storage pool of the corresponding access type. The syntax was
type
Pointeris
access
Some_Type;pragma
Controlled (Pointer); -- see RM_83 4.8; RM_95/2005 13.11.3
