The storage manager will start the finalizer, in a-- separate thread, some time after the last reference to the-- 'ForeignPtr' is dropped. There is no guarantee of promptness, and-- in fact there is no guarantee that the finalizer will eventually-- run at all.---- Note that references from a finalizer do not necessarily prevent-- another object from being finalized. If A's finalizer refers to B-- (perhaps using 'Foreign.ForeignPtr.touchForeignPtr', then the only-- guarantee is that B's finalizer will never be started before A's. If both-- A and B are unreachable, then both finalizers will start together.

When it is-- invoked, the finalizer will run in a new thread.---- NB. Be very careful with these finalizers. One common trap is that-- if a finalizer references another finalized value, it does not-- prevent that value from being finalized. In particular, 'System.IO.Handle's-- are finalized objects, so a finalizer should not refer to a-- 'System.IO.Handle' (including 'System.IO.stdout', 'System.IO.stdin', or-- 'System.IO.stderr').--addForeignPtrFinalizer :: ForeignPtr a -> IO () -> IO () addForeignPtrFinalizer =ForeignPtr a -> IO () -> IO () forall a.
