234 * g_atexit:
235 * @func: (scope async): the function to call on normal program termination.
237 * Specifies a function to be called at normal program termination.
239 * Since GLib 2.8.2, on Windows g_atexit() actually is a preprocessor
240 * macro that maps to a call to the atexit() function in the C
241 * library. This means that in case the code that calls g_atexit(),
242 * i.e. atexit(), is in a DLL, the function will be called when the
243 * DLL is detached from the program. This typically makes more sense
244 * than that the function is called when the GLib DLL is detached,
245 * which happened earlier when g_atexit() was a function in the GLib
246 * DLL.
248 * The behaviour of atexit() in the context of dynamically loaded
249 * modules is not formally specified and varies wildly.
251 * On POSIX systems, calling g_atexit() (or atexit()) in a dynamically
252 * loaded module which is unloaded before the program terminates might
253 * well cause a crash at program exit.
255 * Some POSIX systems implement atexit() like Windows, and have each
256 * dynamically loaded module maintain an own atexit chain that is
257 * called when the module is unloaded.
259 * On other POSIX systems, before a dynamically loaded module is
260 * unloaded, the registered atexit functions (if any) residing in that
261 * module are called, regardless where the code that registered them
262 * resided. This is presumably the most robust approach.
264 * As can be seen from the above, for portability it's best to avoid
265 * calling g_atexit() (or atexit()) except in the main executable of a
266 * program.
