No. 1 question: do you have a reproduceable test case of both behaviors? Edward Excerpts from Henning Thielemann's message of Fri Aug 17 08:10:02 -0400 2012:
The doc of base-4.5:Foreign.ForeignPtr.addForeignPtrFinalizer states: "This function adds a finalizer to the given foreign object. The finalizer will run before all other finalizers for the same object which have already been registered."
I do
addForeignPtrFinalizer finalize1 fp addForeignPtrFinalizer finalize2 fp
and let the finalizers print something when they are started. I get the output:
finalizer1 finalizer2
This indicates that the newly added finalizer is run _after_ the finalizers that are already registered. Is this a documentation bug or a bug in the base library?
