Right, I re-checked the documentation and Lispworks indeed runs the finalizer before reclaiming the object, which is why your approach works there. It won't work in SBCL, for example. As such, we cannot support this feature in a portable fashion. :-/ I've created a new issue to document this: <https://github.com/trivial-garbage/trivial-garbage/issues/8>.

[trivial-garbage-devel] Finalize with closure
by Hans Höglund 09 Dec '12

Hello, I found myself wanting to reference the finalized object from a finalizer, so I added this wrapper around trivial-garbage:finalize, using a weak pointer to avoid permanently referencing the object from the finalizer closure. (defun add-finalizer (x f) (setf p (make-weak-pointer x)) (setf g (lambda () (funcall f (weak-pointer-value p)))) (finalize x g)) Would there be any problems with adding this function to the main library? I could probably provide a patch if requested. Best regards, Hans
