Will get back to you on it. Yes that was a tricky one. We used a mix of manual (for OS) + automatic (for applns) invoking of the constructors.

That sounds very interesting indeed. Lots of people have asked about that,=20 and we've usually considered it too difficult. How did you deal with=20 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=20 assignment... we've talked to people in Intel before who have had some=20 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=20 other routes we can take to handle this which we don't normally take=20 though, but we could make an exemption for a well-known reputable company=20 like Intel.
