Registers the function pointed to by func to be called on normal program termination (via std::exit() or returning from the main function).
The functions will be called during the destruction of the static objects, in reverse order: if A was registered before B, then the call to B is made before the call to A. Same applies to the ordering between static object constructors and the calls to atexit: see std::exit | (until C++11) |
The functions may be called concurrently with the destruction of the objects with static storage duration and with each other, maintaining the guarantee that if registration of A was sequenced-before the registration of B, then the call to B is sequenced-before the call to A, same applies to the sequencing between static object constructors and calls to atexit: see std::exit | (since C++11) |
The same function may be registered more than once.
If a function exits via an exception, std::terminate is called.
atexit is thread-safe: calling the function from several threads does not induce a data race.
The implementation is guaranteed to support the registration of at least 32 functions. The exact limit is implementation-defined.
| func | - | pointer to a function to be called on normal program termination |
0 if the registration succeeds, nonzero value otherwise.
The two overloads are distinct because the types of the parameter func are distinct (language linkage is part of its type).
