This commit introduces support for implicit parameterless constructors in Ada. An implicit parameterless constructor is available when no other constructor is declared for a tagged type that has an ancestor with constructors. The implicit constructor calls the parent’s parameterless constructor through the Super aspect without arguments, simplifying object initialization.
