On a related note, as I was reading the FFI specification again, I can't find any mention of whether or not FunPtr's are stable with respect to garbage collection. I'm assuming they are but am I correct?
Did you read Tackling the Awkward Squad? I think Section 6 (esp. 6.4.2) addresses this: http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/papers/marktoberdorf/
Thanks - from 6.4.2: "Incidentally, the alert reader may have noticed that foreign import "wrapper", described in Section 6.2, must use stable pointers." Perhaps a future revision of the FFI document could also include a direct confirmation like this? Best regards, Brian. -- Logic empowers us and Love gives us purpose.
