When will they be called? I assume when the library is unloaded by the system. This would be far too late for the code we call in the Exit() methods. >From former times we still have this "some things must be available all the time" approach that still hurts us here. The code called in the Exit() method relies on being able to execute any code in the corresponding DLL and this OTOH might access objects that already have been destroyed when the library gets unloaded. As I wrote already, every deinit scenarios based on low level operations may work fine with libraries not being bound to a large C++ framework, but not for libraries like sw, sd and so on. I agree that this would be desirable - but until then it's a long way to go and some other more important stations on this way need to be visited first. Perhaps I should join the currently ongoing "talk about your visions" fashion to explain my roadmap on this way. ;-) Ciao, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer (mba) - Project Lead OpenOffice.org Writer OpenOffice.org Engineering at Sun: http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS Please don't reply to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
