Subject: Unset or remove an OCaml callback registration
Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 14:12:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3a360f590804021112r1cba67d9yc1715c08fb4a2e92@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Is it possible to unregister a function or other value registered with
Callback.register?  I use (Callback.register "foo" some_func) to
register coordinate transforms for a C library.  If no callback is
registered for "foo" then a default transform is used by the C
library.  I would like to be able to set and then remove the
association of some_func to the name "foo" at various points in my
program so that the C code will fall back on the default transform
(which does not require a callback and is much faster) when the named
callback "foo" is undefined or has been unregistered.

Is this possible, either from the C or OCaml side without making the
callback associate with "foo" an option type (use (Callback.register
"foo" (Some some_func)) to set a callback and (Callback.register "foo"
None) to clear it)?

Thanks,
Hez
