Execute functions before exiting

Sometimes it is necessary to execute functions when slang/isis is closed. In slang scripts this can be easily done via the atexit
function.
For example:
define my_exit_function () { vmessage("Exit time: %s", strftime("%H:%M:%S")); } atexit(&my_exit_function);
will print the exit time of the slang/isis process to stdout
.
Exit function in C
The same behaviour can be accomplished in an slang module written in C. The function that needs to be called gets appended via
void my_module_exit_function (void) { destroy(global_object); printf("Cleaning up mess!"); } SLang_add_cleanup_function(&my_module_exit_function);
This might be necessary when memory is allocated and used until the very end.
