You are absolutely right, Thomas. Internally, my program goes back and
forth between Python and OCaml via C, and there can be chains of calls
e.g. OCaml -> Python -> OCaml ->... and so on. If I'm passing a
reference to a mutable object (e.g. an Array) around these call-chains,
I need to make sure the GC doesn't move it around unexpectedly.
Thank you for the suggestions, folks. I'll follow them up and see how
they work.
Regards
Raj
