Oops, yes. > What do you expect to happen if the finaliser calls a foreign > exported function? Good question. I do not expect that to work on any platform that has difficulty implementing newForeignPtr (because you could use it to implement newForeignPtr). I don't know if it would be likely to work on GHC. I think the spec should say that it is an error or undefined depending on whether GHC supports reentrant finalizers or not. > That's a tricky one.
