Description caolanm 2009-05-25 12:10:42 UTC 
We've got a good bit of infrastructure in dtrans to release resource on exit,
but as far as I can see its not possible for it to get called, right ?

Its no biggy in practice, but its disturbing my efforts to see what X resources
we might be leaking :-). Plausible patch attached

nah, that's a stinker. Lets take that back

The reason, why it is in its current "unclean" state is that at the time we did
not have a mechanism that would know when the library gets unloaded (in fact, at
the time it was worse, the application did a premature _exit to avoid static
destructors in dynamically loaded modules; incidentally this is what Apple's
Cocoa toolkit does today).

Originally I planned to move dtrans into vcl - where lots of the problems you
get from having to synchronize with vcl without linking against it could be
solved; other ports would benefit from this move, too, like the mac services
implementation. That is however a question of timeframe,  at the moment I'm
booked out. Anyway, with that plan you would have a DeInit function that could
be used to determine a point in time in which the application will surely not
access the service anymore.

Just my 2 cents; I completely agree that the current state of affairs leaves
plenty of room for improvement.
