Subject: [Caml-list] GC, Anonymous Functions, and C
Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2004 10:55:23 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ad8cfe7e0412171355b901128@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

When passing an anonymous ocaml function to a C function, is it safe
to store that value in an array, and then call it later at an abitrary
time, or will the GC reclaim it? And if so, what should be done to
stop the GC from doing so?

Basically, we're trying to do interrupt handling from OCaml, and need
to store the anonymous functions somewhere for the IDT to jump into,
to provide a little context for the problem.

Regards,

Jonathan Roewen
