I was about to ask this same question.
Destructors are useful for more than memory allocation. For example,
in a large Python program that I wrote some time ago, there is a class
that when instantiated creates several temporary named pipes in
/tmp. It has various methods that do various things to those files
(such as start up some programs that talk through those named pipes),
then it has a has a "cleanup" method to clean up those files, but if
the program abends (let's say an exception is thrown) I want those
files to go away. Otherwise they hang around in /tmp cluttering things
up for days. Not Good.
There's another Python class I wrote that creates a pipeline. You feed
it various programs in the sequence you want them executed, and it
starts them up in the background and returns an (input,output) pipe
pair. If the program exits for whatever reason (an unhandeled
exception, someone calling exit, etc.), you want to close that pair of
pipes so that the pipeline will exit.
What you do is Python is create a __del__ method, which is
automatically executed by Python when either a) the object is garbage
collected (well, Python actually uses a reference counter so the
object will be collected immediately after the last reference to it is
destroyed), or b) upon exit. So all I do is make the __del__ method
check to see if I've already called cleanup (there's a flag), and if
not, call cleanup to get rid of those temp files. Voila, no more trash
named pipe files hanging around in /tmp (unless the interpreter itself
core dumps!).
Is there any way I can handle this sort of thing in Ruby? Or do I need
to modify all my .initialize functions to shove copies of object
instances into a list somewhere and in my main routine catch
unhandled exceptions and call the cleanup() methods of all the things
on that list? What a pain...
