I prefer to call it a library error, because it's easier to just destroy it in the library, and not depend on users. In my case, the user is the gtk app created with new Gtk::Main. It appears that gtk doesn't destroy the pixman object? <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:CACvgo538+8W=rwEx0s9DjpmrtfLr95gYST2zS_o5Ub2G-9mYvw@mail.gmail.com"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <blockquote type="cite" style="color: #000000;"> <pre wrap="">There is actually __attribute__((destructor)) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://phoxis.org/2011/04/27/c-language-constructors-and-destructors-with-gcc" moz-do-not-send="true">https://phoxis.org/2011/04/27/c-language-constructors-and-destructors-with-gcc</a> It works with gcc and clang, and probably with most or all other compilers. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">This is precisely what I recommended, haven't I?</pre> </blockquote> Ok then, if you meant this.
