Dear Gustav,
I understand perfectly than omitting the function is
removing the symptom and not the cause,
but process/service wise having Tcl_Finalize in that particular place (where
the process/service is about to end) or not having it doesn't make any
difference. The Operating System will take care of all resources
de-allocation.
Nevertheless, exactly for the reason you mentioned, that there may be some
problems and that these problems may not be present only in that particular
piece of code, I'll have a look into the function behavior. I suspect that
it might be a matter of the order with which things are de-allocated. but I
might be wrong.
I'll come back on this.
Thank you for your point, I will follow your recommendation.
Ciao,
Maurizio

Maurizio,
Tcl_Finalize() is supposed to work, and if it does now work something is
still broken in the windows version. Omitting Tcl_Finalize() is removeing
the symptom, not the cause. It is not unlikely that something else will have
the same problem due to this cause.
When Tcl_Finalize() is not run, the registered exit handlers are not
executed. How serious this is depends on the exit handlers. You are right,
that the "memory leak" does not matter due to the shutdown. The difference
is like between a graceful and an ungraceful shutdown.

Dear Gustav,
I understand your concerns about Tcl_Finalize. but it is
called just when the process/service is about to end.
Once it ends the OS takes charges and releases the process/service resources
(memory included).
You can make an easy test.. Have Aolserver / nsd running on a big
application. observe the OS resources given to the process
and released when I finishes. Do this twice: with Tcl_Finalize on and
Tcl_Finalize commented out. And see if you can find any difference.
Ciao,
Maurizio
