- .SH NAME
- .na
- Tcl_CallWhenDeleted, Tcl_DontCallWhenDeleted \- Arrange for callback when interpreter is deleted
- .ad
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- \fB#include <tcl.h>\fR
- .sp
- \fBTcl_CallWhenDeleted\fR(\fIinterp\fR, \fIproc\fR, \fIclientData\fR)
- .sp
- \fBTcl_DontCallWhenDeleted\fR(\fIinterp\fR, \fIproc\fR, \fIclientData\fR)
- .SH ARGUMENTS
- .AS Tcl_InterpDeleteProc clientData
- .AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
- Interpreter with which to associated callback.
- .AP Tcl_InterpDeleteProc *proc in
- Procedure to call when \fIinterp\fR is deleted.
- .AP ClientData clientData in
- Arbitrary one-word value to pass to \fIproc\fR.
- .BE

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBTcl_CallWhenDeleted\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be called by
- \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR if/when \fIinterp\fR is deleted at some future
- time. \fIProc\fR will be invoked just before the interpreter
- is deleted, but the interpreter will still be valid at the
- time of the call.
- \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
- type \fBTcl_InterpDeleteProc\fR:
- .nf
- .RS
- typedef int Tcl_InterpDeleteProc(
- .RS
- ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
- Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
- .RE
- .RE
- .fi
- The \fIclientData\fP and \fIinterp\fR parameters are
- copies of the \fIclientData\fP and \fIinterp\fR arguments given
- to \fBTcl_CallWhenDeleted\fR.
- Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to an application-specific
- data structure that \fIproc\fR uses to perform cleanup when an
- interpreter is about to go away.
- \fIProc\fR does not return a value.
- .PP
- \fBTcl_DontCallWhenDeleted\fR cancels a previous call to
- \fBTcl_CallWhenDeleted\fR with the same arguments, so that
- \fIproc\fR won't be called after all when \fIinterp\fR is
- deleted.
- If there is no deletion callback that matches \fIinterp\fR,
- \fIproc\fR, and \fIclientData\fR then the call to
- \fBTcl_DontCallWhenDeleted\fR has no effect.
