-- |The type 'ForeignPtr' represents references to objects that are
-- maintained in a foreign language, i.e., that are not part of the
-- data structures usually managed by the Haskell storage manager.
-- The essential difference between 'ForeignPtr's and vanilla memory
-- references of type @Ptr a@ is that the former may be associated
-- with /finalizers/. A finalizer is a routine that is invoked when
-- the Haskell storage manager detects that - within the Haskell heap
-- and stack - there are no more references left that are pointing to
-- the 'ForeignPtr'.  Typically, the finalizer will, then, invoke
-- routines in the foreign language that free the resources bound by
-- the foreign object.
--
-- The 'ForeignPtr' is parameterised in the same way as 'Ptr'.  The
-- type argument of 'ForeignPtr' should normally be an instance of
-- class 'Storable'.

newConcForeignPtr :: Ptr a -> IO () -> IO (ForeignPtr a)
--
-- ^Turns a plain memory reference into a foreign object by
-- associating a finalizer - given by the monadic operation - with the
-- reference.  The storage manager will start the finalizer, in a
-- separate thread, some time after the last reference to the
-- @ForeignPtr@ is dropped.  There is no guarantee of promptness, and
-- in fact there is no guarantee that the finalizer will eventually
-- run at all.
--
-- Note that references from a finalizer do not necessarily prevent
-- another object from being finalized.  If A's finalizer refers to B
-- (perhaps using 'touchForeignPtr', then the only guarantee is that
-- B's finalizer will never be started before A's.  If both A and B
-- are unreachable, then both finalizers will start together.  See
-- 'touchForeignPtr' for more on finalizer ordering.

mallocForeignPtr :: Storable a => IO (ForeignPtr a)
-- ^ Allocate some memory and return a 'ForeignPtr' to it.  The memory
-- will be released automatically when the 'ForeignPtr' is discarded.
--
-- 'mallocForeignPtr' is equivalent to
--
-- >    do { p <- malloc; newForeignPtr finalizerFree p }
-- 
-- although it may be implemented differently internally: you may not
-- assume that the memory returned by 'mallocForeignPtr' has been
-- allocated with 'Foreign.Marshal.Alloc.malloc'.
--
-- GHC notes: 'mallocForeignPtr' has a heavily optimised
-- implementation in GHC.  It uses pinned memory in the garbage
-- collected heap, so the 'ForeignPtr' does not require a finalizer to
-- free the memory.  Use of 'mallocForeignPtr' and associated
-- functions is strongly recommended in preference to 'newForeignPtr'
-- with a finalizer.

-- ^This function adds a finalizer to the given @ForeignPtr@.  The

--
-- This is a variant of @addForeignPtrFinalizer@, where the finalizer
-- is an arbitrary @IO@ action.  When it is invoked, the finalizer
-- will run in a new thread.
--
-- NB. Be very careful with these finalizers.  One common trap is that
-- if a finalizer references another finalized value, it does not
-- prevent that value from being finalized.  In particular, 'Handle's
-- are finalized objects, so a finalizer should not refer to a 'Handle'
-- (including @stdout@, @stdin@ or @stderr@).

touchForeignPtr :: ForeignPtr a -> IO ()
-- ^This function ensures that the foreign object in
-- question is alive at the given place in the sequence of IO
-- actions. In particular 'Foreign.ForeignPtr.withForeignPtr'
-- does a 'touchForeignPtr' after it
-- executes the user action.
-- 
-- Note that this function should not be used to express dependencies
-- between finalizers on 'ForeignPtr's.  For example, if the finalizer
-- for a 'ForeignPtr' @F1@ calls 'touchForeignPtr' on a second
-- 'ForeignPtr' @F2@, then the only guarantee is that the finalizer
-- for @F2@ is never started before the finalizer for @F1@.  They
-- might be started together if for example both @F1@ and @F2@ are
-- otherwise unreachable, and in that case the scheduler might end up
-- running the finalizer for @F2@ first.
--
-- In general, it is not recommended to use finalizers on separate
-- objects with ordering constraints between them.  To express the
-- ordering robustly requires explicit synchronisation using @MVar@s
-- between the finalizers, but even then the runtime sometimes runs
-- multiple finalizers sequentially in a single thread (for
-- performance reasons), so synchronisation between finalizers could
-- result in artificial deadlock.  Another alternative is to use
-- explicit reference counting.

unsafeForeignPtrToPtr :: ForeignPtr a -> Ptr a
-- ^This function extracts the pointer component of a foreign
-- pointer.  This is a potentially dangerous operations, as if the
-- argument to 'unsafeForeignPtrToPtr' is the last usage
-- occurrence of the given foreign pointer, then its finalizer(s) will
-- be run, which potentially invalidates the plain pointer just
-- obtained.  Hence, 'touchForeignPtr' must be used
-- wherever it has to be guaranteed that the pointer lives on - i.e.,
-- has another usage occurrence.
--
-- To avoid subtle coding errors, hand written marshalling code
-- should preferably use 'Foreign.ForeignPtr.withForeignPtr' rather
-- than combinations of 'unsafeForeignPtrToPtr' and
-- 'touchForeignPtr'.  However, the later routines
-- are occasionally preferred in tool generated marshalling code.
