Any comments for this pull request?

I think it's ok to use trivial garbage for reference counted objects. But I doubt in case of plain structure. There is possibility to deallocate memory owned by foreign code.

Yes. You are right. If we passed the allocated struct to foreign code and we garbage collecting it in lisp, it will cause issue. I will prepare a new pull request to replace this with an explicit de-allocate method.
