Hi,

I may be completely wrong about this, but it seems like PD runs the 'free' function for each object class on a canvas if a window is explicitly closed, but not if 'quit' is selected from the file menu (when there are canvases still open).

For example, if I write a very simple object:

static t_class *mem_class;

typedef struct _mem { t_object x_obj; char *memory; } t_mem;

static void *mem_new(t_symbol *s, t_int argc, t_atom *argv) { t_mem *x = (t_mem *)pd_new(mem_class); x->memory = malloc(10000); return (void *)x; }

static void mem_free(t_mem *x){ free(x->memory); }

void mem_setup(void) { mem_class = class_new(gensym("mem"), (t_newmethod)mem_new, (t_method)mem_free, sizeof(t_mem), CLASS_DEFAULT, 0); }

If I close the the canvas before quiting the memory gets free'd properly, whereas if I just select 'quit' whilst the canvas is still open, the memory is still reachable.

Is this by design, and if so why? Or am I doing something wrong? Alternatively, should I report it as a bug?

Pd version 0.40-0test01
