I seem to recall that deinit was removed by Istvan Varga.

It doesn't matter who it was. Whoever did it, unilaterally removing a 
facility that already exists and is already in use (I had a number of 
opcodes using it) simply should not be done. If the developer feels a need 
to remove or change code in use they should discuss it.

The callback facility provided by Istvan works, and for some purposes it is 
better than deinit was.

In terms of the opcode design and inner loops of Csound, anything that works 
on the opcode instance level can as easily be done by a "virtual function" 
(an i-, k-, or a-rate call to the opcode) as by a registered callback. In 
both cases Csound must inspect a table for a function pointer and call it if 
it is not zero. In such cases, the "virtual function" approach is simpler 
and therefore it is better.

Regards,
Mike
