Yes, that's my modification. Original camlidl is not thread-safe.
Basically camlidl_acquire_runtime does caml_c_thread_register and
caml_leave_blocking_section. camlidl_release_runtime points to
caml_enter_blocking_section.

AFAIK, caml_leave_blocking_section() cannot trigger GC (while
caml_enter_blocking_section can).

Yes, by caml_register_global_root.
Returning to my question:
value _varg[2] = { 0, 0, };
Is such initialization with zero normal?
