I should have clarified that if you need a finalizer to run when Racket shuts down, then finalization alone is not a good choice. Instead, `register-finalizer-and-custodian-shutdown` may be the way to go. A `(begin (sync (system-idle-evt)) (collect-garbage))` is useful when exploring a potential leak, but it's not reliable for making sure that everything that could possibly be finalized is finalized. There's just not a good way to do that with finalizers. But custodians provide predictable shutdown behavior. So, adding `(begin (sync (system-idle-evt)) (collect-garbage))` to a plumber does not seem useful, because the effect is not predictable enough to rely on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
