Hello, I'm about to begin work on implementing the FFI gem<http://rubygems.org/gems/ffi>for IronRuby, and I was referred to IronPython's CTypes for inspiration. I noticed that the MemoryHolder inherits from CriticalFinalizerObject, and I was curious why that is. I'm actually not familiar with Constrained Execution Regions in general, so a quick high level description would be awesome. I've briefly looked at the following MSDN docs, but they're a little too fine-grained for me to follow:
CriticalFinalizerObject Class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.constrainedexecution.criticalfinalizerobject.aspx System.Runtime.ConstrainedExecution Namespace: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.constrainedexecution.aspx Constrained Execution Regions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228973.aspx Reliability Best Practices: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228970.aspx Any help in understanding the purpose of CriticalFinalizerObject and why it is used as the base class for MemoryHolder would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Charles
