being executed. The technical reason for this is that after returning
from Haskell land, the adjustor code might need to do some cleanup:
C -> adjustor -> stub -> Haskell -> stub -> adjustor -> C
It could be the case that the adjustor tail-jumps to the stub, but
this is not guaranteed to be the case for all platforms.
Thanks Sven. I had naively thought the wrapper stub was just a way to get a
StablePtr and pass args to the Haskell function, but had not realised that
adjustor code was needed also in the transition from Haskell back to C (it's
obvious in retrospect now that you've pointed it out).
So I'll use your idea of a scavenger function, which I can call from my main
event loop to be sure that no FunPtr's will directly or indirectly be
freeing themselves (so that the DLL will be safe regardless of the
particular Haskell implementation).
Thanks for the explanations,
Brian.
