OK, that sounds like a plan, yes. > What's your deadline for the next release by the way? "Really soon now". Within days, I'd say. There are some open Xmega issues which I'd like to reproduce/fix, but then, with the many bugfixes that came in, I think a new release would be due. > You can register a cleanup function with atexit() to ensure it's called > after any exit().

Exactly, and performing a synchronous exit() from within a signal handler wouldn't do very well, as it would just extend the requirement to not use things like malloc/free into the atexit handlers (where the currently existing teardown handlers are all doing some memory management). -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
