[Chicken-users] set-finalizer! and disable-interrupts

[Hans Bulfone]

hi,

the documentation of set-finalizer! contains:

"Note that the finalizer will not be called when interrupts are disabled."

does this mean that when an object with a finalizer happens to be
garbage-collected while some code in a unit with disabled interrupts
is running
(a) the finalizer is not invoked at all or
(b) the invokation is deferred until interrupts are enabled again?

if (a) then i can't really depend on a finalizer being called, correct?

if (b) then i'd change "when" to "while" in the documentation.

bye,
hans.
