The C++ destructors call the C close functions. When you release references in a scripting language and garbage collection occurs, then the C++ destructors are called. If you want to make cleanup more immediate in the scripting language runtime, then set the vars holding reference to nil and force processing the garbage collection. If you call the C close functions directly, then the C++ destructors will (eventually) call close on invalid pointers. -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead.
