24/** These are the functions used to register a library's memory cleanup
25 * functions. Each library should define a single library register function
26 * to call this API. In the i18n library, it is ucln_i18n_registerCleanup().
27 *
28 * None of the cleanup functions should use a mutex to clean up an API's
29 * allocated memory because a cleanup function is not meant to be thread safe,
30 * and plenty of data cannot be reference counted in order to make sure that
31 * no one else needs the allocated data.
32 *
33 * In order to make a cleanup function get called when u_cleanup is called,
34 * You should add your function to the library specific cleanup function.
35 * If the cleanup function is not in the common library, the code that
36 * allocates the memory should call the library specific cleanup function.
37 * For instance, in the i18n library, any memory allocated statically must
38 * call ucln_i18n_registerCleanup() from the ucln_in.h header. These library
39 * cleanup functions are needed in order to prevent a circular dependency
40 * between the common library and any other library.
41 *
42 * The order of the cleanup is very important. In general, an API that
43 * depends on a second API should be cleaned up before the second API.
44 * For instance, the default converter in ustring depends upon the converter
45 * API. So the default converter should be closed before the converter API
46 * has its cache flushed. This will prevent any memory leaks due to
47 * reference counting.
48 *
49 * Please see common/ucln_cmn.{h,c} and i18n/ucln_in.{h,c} for examples.
