gen_server handle_info vs handle_call

Hello,

Regarding gen_server, I would like to confirm if handle_info is synchronous
like handle_call, that is:

1) Process P1 does a gen_server:call(Server, Msg)
2) An handle_info call is caused by a process P2 (because it died, was
spawned by the gen_server which processes flag trap_exit)
3) Execution of the handle_info code is not executed until the handle_call
code (being executed for process P1) finishes

Is this correct?

cheers
