I think this type of thing is conventionally called a "finalizer". I'm ambivalent leaning to negative to adding this feature to the gcc garbage collector. In the long run I would like to use the gcc garbage collector less and less. I believe that we can use C++ smart pointers to move in that direction. I understand that you want to take advantage of the gcc garbage collector for the MELT plugin. However, in my ideal world you should be planning for the MELT plugin to take over garbage collection entirely, rather than relying on gcc's garbage collector. Ian
