This means every time Emacs enters garbage collection during the sweeping phase, only a small amount of finalizers are run. Would it make more sense to run all the finalizers at once, after all white objects are swept and a garbage collection cycle completes, like the current garbage collector? I can't seem to find any code in the wild actually using finalizers. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

It shouldn't matter, so which ever is easiest or most efficient is probably the better option. A secondary concern is to run the finalizers as soon as possible. IOW, what you do now is probably the better option, Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
