           Summary: No profiling output is generated if the application
                    terminates with exit
           Product: D
           Version: 1.005
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: david ferenczi.net


test1.d :
--------------8<-----------------------------------
int main(char[][] args)
{
    return 0;
}
--------------8<-----------------------------------

test2.d:
--------------8<-----------------------------------
static private import std.c.stdlib: exit;

int main(char[][] args)
{
    exit(0);
    return 0;
}
--------------8<-----------------------------------

dmd test1.d  -profile
./test1

--> trace.def and trace.log are generated

dmd test1.d  -profile
./test2

--> no output generated

In the 2nd case test2.d will be compiled, of course.

dmd test2.d  -profile
./test2


 dmd test1.d  -profile
 ./test2
 
 --> no output generated

No output will be generated if the application terminates from an 
unhandled exception either.  But I think this is correct behavior.  If 
the application is terminated abruptly then it should be expected that 
unwinding code will not be executed.

It may have been just a bad practice of mine to use the exit function also for
normal terminating. The question is, if it's really a misuse, or e.g. 
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS) should be treated as normal termination.

(Nevertheless I cahnged my code, so it doesn't contain any exit calls.)

That's a good question.  A normal termination in C terms is not a normal 
termination in D terms, but one could argue that the D runtime should 
handle this case anyway.  I think it would be easy enough to do with 
atexit() however.

Ok, so how *does* one exit from deep within a program in a manner that will
still generate profile info?

The only thing I could think of was to put an exception handler around the main
loop, and then throw an exception when I want to stop execution.

Is that the best option?

That's the most straightforward approach.  Unfortunately, it only works when
done in the main program thread.  An alternate, evil approach would be to
suspend all threads, manually call the runtime cleanup routines, and then call
C exit().  The safest would probably be for the runtime to register its cleanup
routines using _atexit() or the equivalent so C exit() can be called.

You can call trace_term() in internal/trace.d to send out the output. I'll make
it extern(C) in the next update to make this easier.

The profiler won't work with multithreaded code anyway.

I don't know if this issue ever got resolved, but now it's cropping up with a
"void main" too, even through a clean return. "int main" does not share the
problem.
