digitalmars.D.learn - Any application shutdown hooks?

reply Matthew Ong <ongbp yahoo.com> writes:
Hi,

If I am writing a database library such as DSL, Data Service Layer, 
there is a need for me to do a good clean up for the connections/results 
sets/transactions that this library is currently handling.

How ever, if another library/package somewhere else calls for a


java.lang.Runtime#public void addShutdownHook(Thread hook)


How do code or what library to use?

can someone please provide a simple working D example for try out.

Of cause, in Even in Java there is event if some cleaning lady were to 
accidentally unplug the main socket of your server. :)

Static Destructor maybe executed when the class is being unloaded GC?
Because this is a class level. It is more like the application level 
exit and such.

That is not really the same as:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#addShutdownHook%28java.lang.Thread%29


This is triggered when:
# The program exits normally, when the last non-daemon thread exits or 
when the exit (equivalently, System.exit) method is invoked, or

# The virtual machine is terminated in response to a user interrupt, 
such as typing ^C, or a system-wide event, such as user logoff or system 
shutdown.

There is a problem at Digital Mars's site. Steve must have meant the 
module static destructor. Search for "Static Construction and 
Destruction" on the module page:

   http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/module.html

(Do not click StaticDestructor at the top of the page. That is linked to 
the class page.)

purpose.


If you want one that runs on the entire application shutdown, use a 
shared static dtor.



placing that at the same module dtor and file as the main(string[] args)
using template mixin.

That might work. I will test that out.

 I saw some commits change a static dtor to a shared static dtor and
 wondered what was that all about..

do that exactly.

others may be dll and could be unloaded and cause __dtor to be called.

Will try such direction. Thanks people.

This is *exactly* what static destructors do.

"A static destructor gets called on program termination"

Actually, that description is inaccurate for non-shared static dtors,  
someone should fix that.

If you want a static dtor that runs on every thread shutdown, use a normal  
static dtor.  If you want one that runs on the entire application  
shutdown, use a shared static dtor.

Oh, yeah, that's exactly what I did!  hm...

Need to file a bug. (filed as  
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6055 )

Note that class static dtors are exactly the same as module static dtors,  
they just are inside the class namespace.

 If you want a static dtor that runs on every thread shutdown, use a  
 normal static dtor.  If you want one that runs on the entire application  
 shutdown, use a shared static dtor.



I should clarify that when I wrote this, I thought the description was  
 from the module.html file, not the class.html file.  Ali pointed out the  
bug in the web site.  So I didn't get why you were talking about classes,  
sorry :)

Class and module static ctor/dtors should be exactly what you are looking  
for.
