Talk:Destructor (computer science)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Which language returns value from a dtor function? (as written in the introduction) I kow abt c++. It does not return any value from dtor fuction call.

[edit] PHP5

PHP5 introduces destructors. Probably should be covered here. I came here hoping someone would be ahead of me in sorting out: is there (as in C++) a guarantee that the destructor runs promptly when a statically declared object passes out of scope, or might it run at some later time? There are techniques in C++ programming that rely on this aspect of destructors, I'm wondering whether they will work in PHP5.- Jmabel | Talk 17:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

• This article would suggest that it works, starting with PHP 5.2, but I don't know how definitive it is. - Jmabel | Talk 17:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
