Description

When some objects are garbage collected, you may require a "special action" to be performed as well. add-special-free-action adds a function to perform the special action. Note that the function is applied to all objects flagged for special-free-action, so the function should check for the object's type, so that it only affects relevant objects.

The functions flag-special-free-action and flag-not-special-free-action flag and unflag objects for action.

Example

(add-special-free-action 'free-my-app)
