C-interface: caml_enter/leave_blocking_section

[Bauer, Christoph]

Hi,

when do I have to call the functions 
   caml_enter_blocking_section ()
and
   caml_leave_blocking_section ()
in my C-stub code?

Thanks,

When you want to be able to switch threads while in C-code, or handle  
signals.
However, my understanding is that the code in the section must not  
access anything in the Caml heap.
