     22 /** These are the functions used to register a library's memory cleanup
     23  * functions.  Each library should define a single library register function
     24  * to call this API.  In the i18n library, it is ucln_i18n_registerCleanup().
     25  *
     26  * None of the cleanup functions should use a mutex to clean up an API's
     27  * allocated memory because a cleanup function is not meant to be thread safe,
     28  * and plenty of data cannot be reference counted in order to make sure that
     29  * no one else needs the allocated data.
     30  *
     31  * In order to make a cleanup function get called when u_cleanup is called,
     32  * You should add your function to the library specific cleanup function.
     33  * If the cleanup function is not in the common library, the code that
     34  * allocates the memory should call the library specific cleanup function.
     35  * For instance, in the i18n library, any memory allocated statically must
     36  * call ucln_i18n_registerCleanup() from the ucln_in.h header.  These library
     37  * cleanup functions are needed in order to prevent a circular dependency
     38  * between the common library and any other library.
     39  *
     40  * The order of the cleanup is very important.  In general, an API that
     41  * depends on a second API should be cleaned up before the second API.
     42  * For instance, the default converter in ustring depends upon the converter
     43  * API.  So the default converter should be closed before the converter API
     44  * has its cache flushed.  This will prevent any memory leaks due to
     45  * reference counting.
     46  *
     47  * Please see common/ucln_cmn.{h,c} and i18n/ucln_in.{h,c} for examples.
