.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTcl_CallWhenDeleted\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be called by
|
|
\fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR if/when \fIinterp\fR is deleted at some future
|
|
time. \fIProc\fR will be invoked just before the interpreter
|
|
is deleted, but the interpreter will still be valid at the
|
|
time of the call.
|
|
\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
|
|
type \fBTcl_InterpDeleteProc\fR:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.CS
|
|
typedef void \fBTcl_InterpDeleteProc\fR(
|
|
ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
|
|
Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
|
|
.CE
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR parameters are
|
|
copies of the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR arguments given
|
|
to \fBTcl_CallWhenDeleted\fR.
|
|
Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to an application-specific
|
|
data structure that \fIproc\fR uses to perform cleanup when an
|
|
interpreter is about to go away.
|
|
\fIProc\fR does not return a value.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTcl_DontCallWhenDeleted\fR cancels a previous call to
|
|
\fBTcl_CallWhenDeleted\fR with the same arguments, so that
|
|
\fIproc\fR will not be called after all when \fIinterp\fR is
|
|
deleted.
|
|
If there is no deletion callback that matches \fIinterp\fR,
|
|
\fIproc\fR, and \fIclientData\fR then the call to
|
|
\fBTcl_DontCallWhenDeleted\fR has no effect.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that if the callback is being used to delete a resource that \fImust\fR
|
|
be released on exit, \fBTcl_CreateExitHandler\fR should be used to ensure that
|
|
a callback is received even if the application terminates without deleting the interpreter.
