Are there any caveats to using weak pointers and STM together? in
particular, the two cases I am interested in are
1. is using 'deRefWeak' fully safe inside 'unsafeIOtoSTM'? As in, will
it combine arbitrary STM actions with checking if a weak pointer is
still valid atomically?
2. is using an atomically retry safe inside of a finalizer? Will it
introduce any concurrency bottlenecks or can I just consider code run in
a finalizer just like code run in any other thread?
I just wanted to be sure before I base an integral component of a projects
design
on these working properly.
thanks!
John
