Hi Stephen,

Do you mean this solution?
1. support atexit() in librte_eal, other component can use it to register a function to be called when rte_exit() is called.
2. in librte_cmdline, use atexit() to register a function to release resource 

I am looking forward to more comments from other maintainers, since this solution will modify librte_eal and librte_cmdline, but not just testpmd app.

Sounds like a more generic problem with rte_exit and librte_cmdline.
Would it better to fix it in librte_cmdline by adding an atexit() handler.
