Meador Inge <mead...@gmail.com> added the comment: I agree with Antoine's LIFO comment. Also, FWIW, the C standard library behaves in a LIFO manner as well (C99 spec - 7.20.4.3 clause 3):
"First, all functions registered by the atexit function are called, in the reverse order of their registration,253) except that a function is called after any previously registered functions that had already been called at the time it was registered. If, during the call to any such function, a call to the longjmp function is made that would terminate the call to the registered function, the behavior is undefined." ---------- nosy: +meador.inge _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9788> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
