[Caml-list] C-interface: caml_enter/leave_blocking_section

[Bauer, Christoph]

Hi,

when do I have to call the functions
caml_enter_blocking_section ()
and
caml_leave_blocking_section ()
in my C-stub code?

Thanks,

When you want to be able to switch threads while in C-code, or handle
signals.
However, my understanding is that the code in the section must not
access anything in the Caml heap.

It is "documented" here [1].
Best,
