Just test and the __gc are still not called with this version.

If I let the script ends by itself, I mean not adding a blocking event.offset(...), the __gc are properly called.

I'll change my moduleso that people can handle script interruption with your event.terminate() method.

Anyway, thank you very much Pete.

So "lua_close" does no garbage collection? That makes no sense at all! :-(

I've no idea whatsoever how to force garbage collection otherwise, and according to everything I've read it isn't necessary for me to do so. Lua tidies up after itself.

Ah, if it's waiting for an event it is not processing any of the "Abort" flag settings! That is why!

I never thought of that, sorry. I tested on looping plug-ins only. If it's waiting on any event it is easier. i can simply call lua_close instead of an event function!

Tomorrow ...

Okay, Done. Please try these and let me know:

FSUIPC 3.997e

FSUIPC 4.715a

BTW the alternative, using the event.terminate function, could simply call ipc.exit, which would do the lua_close, which should call all your __gc functions. But if that's all it was doing it would be a waste -- quicker to let this abort method do the same.

Regards

Pete
