Hi,

When a bigarray is created from C, where its data part is allocated from a C 
function, I would like to know how to handle the finalisation of this ba ?

Will ocaml make the free() call on the data part when it will be finalised ?

Should one associates a finalisation function and how ?

bigarray_managed = BIGARRAY_EXTERNAL  // Data is not allocated by Caml

-- 
Thanks
Florent
