I also used to think it was a good idea to clean up after yourself. However, a lot of in-process cleanup is at best just simply wasted, the OS will recover all those resources much more effectively and safely. What’s worse, the cleanup code can cause significant issues, I remember the image processing program that swapped back a lot of its image-cache in the process of freeing it, because the malloc metadata was kept on the same VM page as the data itself. > Unfortunately I'd broken my LaunchAgent doing some other stuff at the time > and just now I've got stuff working and then I've been wondering why > LaunchAgent doesn't stop. Back to exit(0) it is. If you get queasy about exiting so abruptly, remind yourself that sudden termination is a kill -9 … :-) Marcel _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
