[Gambas-user] _exit not being called

[Christopher Brian Jack]

The class shown is not having it's _exit() method called.  The class is
basically a wrapper that synchronizes a possibly empty default
configuration to one containing the default values.  Note the comment in
the initializer about a contradiction to a Wiki example and what is needed
for an error free behavior.  Is _exit() not being called a bug or a
feature?

' Synopsis: Settings wrapper with default hidden
'           instance creation and (supposed to have)
'           automatic saving of the settings.

NULL) AS Variant

    PRINT "myConfig[] (r): storing default value"
    appCfg[key] = data
  END IF

  cur = appCfg[key, NULL]
  appCfg[key] = data
  PRINT "myConfig [](w): old="; cur; ", new="; data

END

STATIC PUBLIC SUB _init()

  PRINT "myConfig _init(): starting up"
  'NEW required or "Null Object" error(s) occur
  'The example in the Wiki uses: DIM hSettings AS Settings
  'and subsequently attempts to use hSettings.  This results
  'in a "Null Object" error
  appCfg = NEW Settings

END

STATIC PUBLIC SUB _exit()

  PRINT "myConfig _exit(): committing settings to disk"
  appCfg.Save()

END
