How to prevent PWM-Destructor stopping my PWM after the program ends? about jetsongpio HOT 2 CLOSED

extern void init();
extern void start(double dutyCycle);
extern void cleanup();       // should be called when you don't need pwm anymore.

static GPIO::PWM* pwm = nullptr; 
static bool is_started = false;

void init()
{
    if (pwm == nullptr)
    {
         // initialization routine here...

         // constrcut PWM object
         pwm = new GPIO::PWM(/* .....  */)
        // std::cout << "[DEBUG] pwm object constrcuted" << std::endl;
    }
}

void start(double dutyCycle)
{
    if (pwm == nullptr)
    {
         init();
    }


    if(is_started)
    {
        pwm->ChangeDutyCycle(dutyCycle);
    }
    else
    {
        pwm->start(dutyCycle);
        is_started = true;
    }
}

void cleanup()
{
    if (pwm == nulptr)
        return;
   
    is_started = false;
    delete pwm;
    pwm = nullptr;
    // std::cout << "[DEBUG] pwm object destructed" << std::endl;

    // other cleanup routine here...
