val finalise : ('a -> unit) -> 'a -> unit
(** [finalise f v] registers [f] as a finalisation function for [v].
[v] must be heap-allocated. [f] will be called with [v] as
argument at some point between the first time [v] becomes unreachable
(including through weak pointers) and the time [v] is collected by
the GC. Several functions can
be registered for the same value, or even several instances of the
same function. Each instance will be called once (or never,
if the program terminates before [v] becomes unreachable).
The GC will call the finalisation functions in the order of
deallocation. When several values become unreachable at the
same time (i.e. during the same GC cycle), the finalisation
functions will be called in the reverse order of the corresponding
calls to [finalise]. If [finalise] is called in the same order
as the values are allocated, that means each value is finalised
before the values it depends upon. Of course, this becomes
false if additional dependencies are introduced by assignments.
In the presence of multiple OCaml threads it should be assumed that
any particular finaliser may be executed in any of the threads.
Anything reachable from the closure of finalisation functions
is considered reachable, so the following code will not work
as expected:
- [ let v = ... in Gc.finalise (fun _ -> ...v...) v ]
Instead you should make sure that [v] is not in the closure of
the finalisation function by writing:
- [ let f = fun x -> ... let v = ... in Gc.finalise f v ]
The [f] function can use all features of OCaml, including
assignments that make the value reachable again. It can also
loop forever (in this case, the other
finalisation functions will not be called during the execution of f,
unless it calls [finalise_release]).
It can call [finalise] on [v] or other values to register other
functions or even itself. It can raise an exception; in this case
the exception will interrupt whatever the program was doing when
the function was called.
[finalise] will raise [Invalid_argument] if [v] is not
guaranteed to be heap-allocated. Some examples of values that are not
heap-allocated are integers, constant constructors, booleans,
the empty array, the empty list, the unit value. The exact list
of what is heap-allocated or not is implementation-dependent.
Some constant values can be heap-allocated but never deallocated
during the lifetime of the program, for example a list of integer
constants; this is also implementation-dependent.
Note that values of types [float] are sometimes allocated and
sometimes not, so finalising them is unsafe, and [finalise] will
also raise [Invalid_argument] for them. Values of type ['a Lazy.t]
(for any ['a]) are like [float] in this respect, except that the
compiler sometimes optimizes them in a way that prevents [finalise]
from detecting them. In this case, it will not raise
[Invalid_argument], but you should still avoid calling [finalise]
on lazy values.
The results of calling {!String.make}, {!Bytes.make}, {!Bytes.create},
{!Array.make}, and {!val:Stdlib.ref} are guaranteed to be
heap-allocated and non-constant except when the length argument is [0].
*)
val finalise_last : (unit -> unit) -> 'a -> unit
(** same as {!finalise} except the value is not given as argument. So
you can't use the given value for the computation of the
finalisation function. The benefit is that the function is called
after the value is unreachable for the last time instead of the
first time. So contrary to {!finalise} the value will never be
reachable again or used again. In particular every weak pointer
and ephemeron that contained this value as key or data is unset
before running the finalisation function. Moreover the finalisation
functions attached with {!finalise} are always called before the
finalisation functions attached with {!finalise_last}.

called. A value of type [alarm] is returned that you can use to
call [delete_alarm].
It is not guaranteed that the Gc alarm runs at the end of every major
GC cycle, but it is guaranteed that it will run eventually.

deallocated.
Since blocks are composed of several words, a block can potentially
be sampled several times. If a block is sampled several times, then
each of the callbacks is called once for each event of this block:
the multiplicity is given in the [n_samples] field of the

(** Start a profile with the given parameters. Raises an exception
if a profile is already sampling in the current domain.
Sampling begins immediately. The parameter [sampling_rate] is
the sampling rate in samples per word (including headers).
Usually, with cheap callbacks, a rate of 1e-4 has no visible
effect on performance, and 1e-3 causes the program to run a few
percent slower. 0.0 <= sampling_rate <= 1.0.
The parameter [callstack_size] is the length of the callstack
recorded at every sample. Its default is [max_int].
The parameter [tracker] determines how to track sampled blocks
over their lifetime in the minor and major heap.
Sampling and running callbacks are temporarily disabled on the
current thread when calling a callback, so callbacks do not
need to be re-entrant if the program is single-threaded and
single-domain. However, if threads or multiple domains are
used, it is possible that several callbacks will run in
parallel. In this case, callback functions must be re-entrant.
Note that a callback may be postponed slightly after the actual
event. The callstack passed to an allocation callback always
accurately reflects the allocation, but the program state may
have evolved between the allocation and the call to the
callback.
If a new thread or domain is created when the current domain is
sampling for a profile, the child thread or domain joins that
profile (using the same [sampling_rate], [callstack_size], and
[tracker] callbacks).
An allocation callback is always run by the thread which
allocated the block. If the thread exits or the profile is
stopped before the callback is called, the allocation callback
is not called and the block is not tracked.
Each subsequent callback is generally run by the domain which
allocated the block. If the domain terminates or the profile is
stopped before the callback is called, the callback may be run
by a different domain.
Different domains may sample for different profiles
simultaneously. *)
val stop : unit -> unit
(** Stop sampling for the current profile. Fails if no profile is
sampling in the current domain. Stops sampling in all threads
and domains sharing the profile.
Promotion and deallocation callbacks from a profile may run
after [stop] is called, until [discard] is applied to the
profile.
A profile is implicitly stopped (but not discarded) if all
domains and threads sampling for it are terminated.
*)
val discard : t -> unit
(** Discards all profiling state for a stopped profile, which
prevents any more callbacks for it. Raises an exception if
called on a profile which has not been stopped.
*)
