Did we ever sort out the original subject of this thread which was: Should finalizers on a given foreign pointer be executed in the order they were added?
It is obvious what addForeignPtrFinalizer can be used for if this guarantee is made. As far as I can recall, no-one has suggested what addForeignPtrFinalizer is good for if this guarantee is _not_ made. Hugs makes this guarantee. I believe NHC can easily make this guarantee if they don't do so already. GHC does not make this guarantee but they know how to implement it. The current ffi spec (release candidate 7) does not make this guarantee. -- Alastair Reid [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reid Consulting (UK) Limited http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/alastair/ _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
