Hi,

You can't attach a finalizer to an unpointed type (here Addr#). It explains the segfault.

You would have to attach the finalizer to `fptr` but it's quite fragile because GHC may remove the boxing in some cases.

Hi all,

I'd like to attach a finalizer to FunPtrs (which point to JIT-compiled functions that need to be deallocated).

However, the act of running the finalizer (no matter what it does) results in a segfault.

Here's a minimal example:

{-# LANGUAGE UnboxedTuples, MagicHash #-}
import GHC.Exts (FunPtr(..))
import GHC.Base
import Foreign.Ptr
import System.Mem

attachFinalizer :: FunPtr a -> IO () -> IO ()
attachFinalizer fptr@(FunPtr addr) (IO fin) = IO $ \s0 ->
  case mkWeak# addr fptr fin s0 of
    (# s1, _ #) -> (# s1, () #)

foreign import ccall "wrapper"
  mkIO :: IO () -> IO (FunPtr (IO ()))

main = do
  fptr <- mkIO $ return ()
  attachFinalizer fptr $ do
    -- The exact contents of the finalizer doesn't seem to matter
    putStrLn "+++ finalizer ran"
    freeHaskellFunPtr fptr
  putStrLn "+++ attached successfully"
  performGC

Is there a proper way to do this? (GHC 8.6.5)
