Subject: [Caml-list] Is Weak.get guaranteed to return Some until finalisation is executed?
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 14:07:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3FB55226.9080707@cs.caltech.edu> (raw)
Hello,
Currently the documentation for the Weak module seems to imply that the
Weak.get can return None whenever it feels like it. Is there any
guarantees as to when things are required to stay in the weak array? In
particular, if I call GC.finalise on a heap-allocated value and then
stick a value into a weak array, can I be sure that Weak.get will return
Some until after the finalisation function is executed (and finishes
its execution)?
