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: when the exit (equivalently, System.exit) method is invoked, or such as typing ^C, or a system-wide event, such as user logoff or system shutdown. -- Matthew Ong email: ongbp yahoo.com

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.) Ali

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. -Steve

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.
 That is not really the same as:

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. -Steve

Module Destructor: Cool feature that I can consider to use for other purpose.

shared static dtor.
It is more like an entire application shutdown event. So I will be 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. -- Matthew Ong email: ongbp yahoo.com

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. -Steve

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

Perhaps writing a mixin at module where the main method is located will do that exactly. others may be dll and could be unloaded and cause __dtor to be called. Will try such direction. Thanks people. -- Matthew Ong email: ongbp yahoo.com
