Do you mean dependencies between ForeignPtrs? I don't think the people who need them have given up. But I certainly hope that the execution order of finalizers on a single ForeignPtr is specified, and I think I saw SimonM agreeing to it. At the minimum it is necessary to specify that any finalizer added to a ForeignPtr created with mallocForeignPtr runs before the memory is deallocated. _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
