ForeignPtr and -threaded

Hi,

I have encountered a weird behavior of ForeignPtr. I want to know how
to work around this. I am using GHC 6.6.1 on Darwin.


[1] Foreign.Concurrent

The following code prints "called" when it is linked with -threaded
RTS, but it prints nothing when it isn't.

import Foreign.Marshal.Alloc
import qualified Foreign.Concurrent as Conc

main = do mem <- mallocBytes 10
          Conc.newForeignPtr mem $ print "called"


[2] Foreign.ForeignPtr

The following code prints nothing when it isn't linked with -threaded
RTS, but when it is, it *sometimes* prints "called" but not always.

import Foreign.Marshal.Alloc
import Foreign.Ptr
import Foreign.ForeignPtr

foreign import ccall "wrapper"
        mkFinalizer :: (Ptr () -> IO ()) -> IO (FunPtr (Ptr () -> IO ()))

main = do mem <- mallocBytes 10
          fin <- mkFinalizer $ \ _ -> print "called"
          newForeignPtr fin mem
