Question About Use of u_init() and u_cleanup()

[Tracy T. <tuc...@us...>]

A question about the use of u_cleanup() in ICU 2.6.

Our main daemon process issues u_init() during start-up, and it then starts
multiple agent processes.  The agent processes come and go (except for the
hang problem on Sun and iSeries), but the daemon process sticks around.

Each started agent process also calls u_init() during initialization.

Each started agent process calls u_cleanup() before shutting down.

Is the fact that u_cleanup() is called before the main daemon process shuts
down a potential problem?

Are the ICU resources that get cleaned-up specific to the calling process,
or global across all running processes?

Thanks,

--Tracy
