FFI Gurus, I created a c2hs FFI of a nested C structure, where struct A has a pointer to a struct B. To do so, I used a malloc, but I am unsure if the memory will be freed when the resulting Ptr is freed. The example at this link uses the same technique, so it will serve as an example. https://github.com/ifesdjeen/haskell-ffi-tutorial/blob/master/src/Example.hs... Line 48 and 51 do the malloc and assign the pointer in the struct, from inside a Storable poke implementation. But, there is no explicit free, nor a finalizer. Will the memory be freed when the Ptr of the Storable is freed? If it is, it implies that some magic keeps track of mallocs inside a poke, and creates finalizers. Or, this example leaks. If it leaks, how do I create a finalizer from inside a poke implementation? Mike
