I'm trying to write some racket code which interfaces with a foreign library and provides a safe interface. Some of the functions I'm calling allocate memory and need to have this explicitly freed by the caller. The 'allocator' binding from ffi/unsafe/alloc seems to solve this problem, but I'm running into issues using it from places other than the main one. The issue is that if a place gets shut down then the finalizer that was registered don't seem to run, and I can observe the leaked memory at the process level.
I took a look at ffi/unsafe/custodian and it seems that register-custodian-shutdown would allow this to be implemented. Is there a reason that such allocator doesn't do this by default?
