It would be a very bad design if any library attempted to finalize another shared resource at a random point in time, for precisely the reasons you have outlined. Cleaning up of global state can only be performed by the application once it has guaranteed that those resources are no longer in use - typically during the shutdown of the last thread, primarily for the purposes of leak checking. -ickle -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
