That sounds very interesting indeed. Lots of people have asked about that, and we've usually considered it too difficult. How did you deal with constructor priority ordering?

We've got a write-up here, and it's probably not worth me repeating it all: http://ecos.sourceware.org/patches.html But we should probably talk in more detail about the copyright assignment... we've talked to people in Intel before who have had some difficulty in persuading the Intel legal department to assign copyright. I'd be interested to know if you have any perspective on this. There may be other routes we can take to handle this which we don't normally take though, but we could make an exemption for a well-known reputable company like Intel.
