How can I call a routine automatically when the run ends in specman?
Is there any way to specify that a function should be called when a test ends in Specman?
I'm looking for something similar to C's atexit().

int* j = malloc(sizeof(int));
}
However this is a naive approach, because malloc may fail and the pointers are not free'd.
So you can do this:
int main(void)
{
int*…

The function: int atexit (void (*function) (void))

How to pass in different function pointers into atexit in c?
I understand that atexit() takes in a function pointer of this type void (*function)(void). What I want to do is that whenever the porgam exists it runs a function to free of all the memory. So I want atexit() to take in this function pointer…
