Tcl_CallWhenDeleted, Tcl_DontCallWhenDeleted — Arrange for callback when interpreter is deleted
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_CallWhenDeleted(interp, proc, clientData)
Tcl_DontCallWhenDeleted(interp, proc, clientData)
- Tcl_Interp *interp (in)
-
Interpreter with which to associated callback.
- Tcl_InterpDeleteProc *proc (in)
-
Procedure to call when interp is deleted.
- void *clientData (in)
-
Arbitrary one-word value to pass to proc.
Tcl_CallWhenDeleted arranges for proc to be called by
Tcl_DeleteInterp if/when interp is deleted at some future
time. Proc will be invoked just before the interpreter
is deleted, but the interpreter will still be valid at the
time of the call.
Proc should have arguments and result that match the
type Tcl_InterpDeleteProc:
typedef void Tcl_InterpDeleteProc(
void *clientData,
Tcl_Interp *interp);
The clientData and interp parameters are
copies of the clientData and interp arguments given
to Tcl_CallWhenDeleted.
Typically, clientData points to an application-specific
data structure that proc uses to perform cleanup when an
interpreter is about to go away.
Proc does not return a value.
Tcl_DontCallWhenDeleted cancels a previous call to
Tcl_CallWhenDeleted with the same arguments, so that
proc will not be called after all when interp is
deleted.
If there is no deletion callback that matches interp,
proc, and clientData then the call to
Tcl_DontCallWhenDeleted has no effect.
Note that if the callback is being used to delete a resource that must
be released on exit, Tcl_CreateExitHandler should be used to ensure that
a callback is received even if the application terminates without deleting the
interpreter.
