Hello, I have a question about nlffi. Is it possible to add an object allocated by to the smlnj heap, so that the garbage collector will remove it if no ml value points to it? I thought of using weak pointers for this, to call a finalizer which frees the real object wrapped in some ML value, but I would like to do it more "directly" without having to go through a list of weak pointers on each GC signal. -- Matthias Kretschmer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf
