Del proc (datum)

Format

Del()

When

Called when the object is destroyed, for example by using the del instruction.

Default action

Delete the object. The contents of atomic objects are also destroyed at this time, as though del were called on each one of them.

When the world is destroyed, the Del() proc is not automatically called. The only object for which it is called is world. If you need the Del() proc for a particular object to be called at that time, you should explicitly call it from world/Del().

Note

Always call ..() at the end of the proc if you override it.
