Nope there are some unix resources that c exit routines do not free like semaphores.
"C exit routines" aren't responsible for freeing OS resources; the OS is. The fact that the SysV IPC objects aren't freed on exit is intentional; they are meant to be persistent. For the same reason, the OS doesn't delete upon termination any files which the process created. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@gclements.plus.com>
