Re: C Extension Shutdown GC vs Free Functions Called

From: Robert Buck <lists@...>

Unsure if this really applies. Could you restate? I am not quite 
following you.

Let me provide additional details...

The use case is a database driver where a connection begets prepared 
statement objects which begets result set objects which begets column 
info objects.

At each layer of objects we wrap its corresponding struct using 
Data_Wrap_Struct as each object has functions (written in C) exposed to 
Ruby that may operate on it.

I did set this up so that the child objects have a VALUE reference to 
its parent.

But it certainly is the case that Ruby does not do one last Mark and 
Sweep before it shuts down after removing all entries from the object 
table. Instead it appears as though Ruby simply does a bulk delete 
willy-nilly with no concerns about deletion order (which minimally 
should occur in at least reverse order of allocation, again which Ruby 
does not do).
