R-0.64.2 and R-devel:
[I found this by looking at the code.]
A .Last function is _only_ called if the condition that causes termination
is EOF on the console or input:
> .Last <- function() cat("ran .Last\n")
> q("no")
returns to the shell.
> .Last <- function() cat("ran .Last\n")
> # I hit ^D here
ran .Last
Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: n
The problem is that .Last is handled in end_Rmainloop(), and that is
not called by q(). We need to move the handling to R_CleanUp (and
for some reason do_quit is system-dependent, so need not even call
R_CleanUp). I'll work on this.
I did check the documentation: ?quit does claim .Last should be called:
Immediately before terminating, the function `.Last()'
is executed if it exists.
