atexit

 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at atexit.

Processes the specified function at exit.

Syntax

int atexit(  
   void (__cdecl *func )( void )  
);  

Parameters

func
Function to be called.

Return Value

atexit returns 0 if successful, or a nonzero value if an error occurs.

Remarks

The atexit function is passed the address of a function (func) to be called when the program terminates normally. Successive calls to atexit create a register of functions that are executed in last-in, first-out (LIFO) order. The functions passed to atexit cannot take parameters. atexit and _onexit use the heap to hold the register of functions. Thus, the number of functions that can be registered is limited only by heap memory.

The code in the atexit function should not contain any dependency on any DLL which could have already been unloaded when the atexit function is called.

To generate an ANSI-compliant application, use the ANSI-standard atexit function (rather than the similar _onexit function).

Requirements

Routine Required header
atexit <stdlib.h>

Example

This program pushes four functions onto the stack of functions to be executed when atexit is called. When the program exits, these programs are executed on a last in, first out basis.

// crt_atexit.c  
#include <stdlib.h>  
#include <stdio.h>  
  
void fn1( void ), fn2( void ), fn3( void ), fn4( void );  
  
int main( void )  
{  
   atexit( fn1 );  
   atexit( fn2 );  
   atexit( fn3 );  
   atexit( fn4 );  
   printf( "This is executed first.\n" );  
}  
  
void fn1()  
{  
   printf( "next.\n" );  
}  
  
void fn2()  
{  
   printf( "executed " );  
}  
  
void fn3()  
{  
   printf( "is " );  
}  
  
void fn4()  
{  
   printf( "This " );  
}  
This is executed first.  
This is executed next.
