Hi, I've been having problems with atexit for a long time now. I've tried various ways to figure out what's going on without luck.
It looks like somewhere along the line atexit disappeared from libc6 . I know on_exit does what atexit does and more - has atexit been deprecated and removed? Hopefully not. Anyway, I installed libc6_2.2.4-1_i386.deb yesterday and I still have the problem. I've tried at least 4 other versions of the library over the course of the last 9 months or so. I started out with stable and moved into ever less stable (testing, untested). Last night I tried to build my own from libc6_2.2.4 source, but that doens't seem to have atexit either (but I didn't look too hard, decided to ask for help instead). So can anyone tell me the story of what's become of atexit? I saw the posting of Ben Collins from 12 Aug 2001 regarding a package he'd built that had atexit, but the link is dead and the package was for a 2.2.3 version. Lastly, I've been wanting to look at all the available libc6 packages for stable, testing and untested - is there an easy way to do this? For instance I couldn't figure out where on the official site to find Ben's version or how to be sure I'd searched the right places. Thanks, Derek
