Okay, so Ctrl-Q skips all free functions on purpose. If I am understanding correctly, I need to register my cleanup function with atexit on a function of type void _function_(void), but that means I don't have access to any of my object's member variables. <br>
<br>In the case of flext, the external class would need to be declared as static in order for its destructor to be called before shutting down - do you know if this is right, or possible, Thomas or anyone else knowing about flext/C++ and pd?<br>
<br>The reason I need this is because I am messing around with disconnecting the wacom events from controlling the tablet, which takes some calls that change the driver's settings. If I cannot turn the settings back before the program stops, they are permanently screwed until I restart the driver/computer. At least, this is all I can tell so far. <br>

Can anyone help me understand why an external's free function doesn't seem to be called if pd is shut down as a whole (ex. ctrl-q)? I put post's, printf's, and breakpoints in my free function and they are called if I remove the external from the patch or the patch as a whole (ex. ctrl-w). But, if I shut down pd all at once, the breakpoint doesn't trigger and I don't get any print. The same thing happens in a flext external, within the ~Destructor method. I don't understand.<br>

because the exit() function always skips over all destructions except those mandated by atexit().<br><font color="#888888">
