Re: [Gc] Question: Can finalizers be used together with typed memory allocation?

[Ivan Maidanski]

Hi Alexander, 

Please do not define GC_DEBUG 
- it is not supported for typed malloc for now (as stated in the header file). Non-debugging variant of register finalizer should be usable for typed allocations.

Regards, 
Ivan
