Detailed Description

A static interface for registering cleanup functions that are called when the process terminates abnormally.

On unix this relates to signals like SIGTERM, SIGINT etc.

Member Function Documentation

void G::Cleanup::add ( void(*)(SignalSafe, const char *)  fn, const char *  arg  )

static

Adds the given handler to the list of handlers that are to be called when the process terminates abnormally.

The handler function must be fully reentrant, hence the SignalSafe dummy parameter. The 'arg' pointer is kept.

void G::Cleanup::atexit ( bool  active = true )

static

Ensures that the cleanup functions are also called via atexit(), in addition to abnormal-termination signals.

This can be useful when third-party library code (eg. Xlib) might call exit() (grrr). But be careful to call atexit(false) before normal termination, returning from main().
