callback question

callback question

[Michael Wohlwend]

I'm storing an ocaml object in a c++ class (the class call methods of the
ocaml objects). To do that I register the object as described for callback
functions in the manual and use it with caml_named_value.
It works perfect so it seems to be the right way. (?)
But does the gc ever remove the object (since it is registered as a callback)?

In a class definition, is this the  correct way to get things cleaned up:

class x = object
 val obj = native_pointer
 ...
 initializer
    Gc.finalise (fun _ -> delete native_pointer) self;
end;;
