Indeed, it isn’t caused by it at all. struct S { int s; }; int *i; { struct S s; i = &s.s; } *i = 7; // and in C++ you can even write int& j = *i; No GC or finalizers involved here. Hope you hav

Well that is from 3 weeks ago. If that remains then it’s a bug or the documentation is wrong. What are the rules for keeping a GC object alive? What earthly useful meaning can “Lua stack” have in the FFI GC documentation if not to local bin

Yes, and? It has mechanisms with well defined semantics such as GCHandle and KeepAlive. That’s literally what it is there for so it makes this: “or attempt to manually extend the lifetime of a finalizable object, and then pray the compile

I know it says this: "The semantics of LuaJIT do not prescribe when GC can happen and what values will be live, so the GC and the compiler are not constrained to extend the liveness of blob to, say, the entirety of its lexical scope. &

This is unnecessary. The blob argument binding itself is making the object reachable throughout the function. You can easily test it with collectgarbage('collect') The author's example is simply mistaken about the relatively

The LuaJIT example isn't correct though, the lifetime of garbage collected objects is clearly documented: https://luajit.org/ext_ffi_semantics.html#gc In the example function `blob` will not be collected because it is

Yes perhaps read your own link: “ The researchers caution that most of medical errors aren’t due to inherently bad doctors, and that reporting these errors shouldn’t be addressed by punishment or legal action. Rather, they say, most errors
