Subject: Hweak question
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2006 16:14:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44FC34B0.1000704@studio.baretta.com> (raw)
While googling for weak pointer resources, I have discovered the beautiful Hweak
library, implementing a real weak hashtable. I should have googled for it a long
time ago.
Just one question: how do you manage to maintain the bound value live when the
key is live? As far as I know from experimenting with the weak hashtables in the
vanilla distribution it is enough for the pointer to the bound value to become
unreachable for it be garbage collected away.
I tried implementating weak hastables on top of the weak "hashed set" functor of
the standard library but never managed to get the GC to keep my bindings live so
long as the the key was live.
