The doc of base-4.5:Foreign.ForeignPtr.addForeignPtrFinalizer states:

been registered."
I do
addForeignPtrFinalizer finalize1 fp
addForeignPtrFinalizer finalize2 fp
and let the finalizers print something when they are started.
I get the output:
finalizer1
finalizer2
This indicates that the newly added finalizer is run _after_ the finalizers
that are already registered. Is this a documentation bug or a bug in the base
library?
Hm, it seems to depend on the context. In some situations I get the
correct (reversed) order
finalizer2
finalizer1
and in others I get finalizer1 first and then finalizer2. Any hint what
can change the order of finalizers?
