exiting embedded mode gracefully

[Matt Flax]

Hi there,

I am having a problem, would like some help with please.

When I start octave, it is the usual mechanism (as shown here https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/v4.0.1/Standalone-Programs.html):

octave_main((int)argsIn.size(), (char**)&argsIn[0], embedded);

When I exit octave in the usual manner ( clean_up_and_exit(0)) I get a complete exit ... i.e. the whole process seems to end ... without continuing the thread execution through the C++ destructors in my code base ... for example :

clean_up_and_exit(0)
cout<<"this doesn't get printed !"<<endl;

If I set safe to return (rather then sleeping = clean_up_and_exit(0, true)) the thread still ends prematurely !

If I don't execute the "clean_up_and_exit" function, then I get a segmentation fault.

Any ideas what to change in the process to get an exit with the completion of the thread ?

thanks
Matt
