Re: automatic execution of user functions when exit octave

[Stefan Mahr]

Thanks, but I need it within a C++ function. But the following solution 
seems to work:


extern std::stack<std::string> octave_atexit_functions;

...

std::string arg = "somefunction");
octave_atexit_functions.push(arg);


Any comments? Is there a other solution? Maybe it is a good idea to put 
the octave_atexit_functions definition directly to toplev.h
