Subject: Libraries and glocal constructors
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 1998 09:07:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <199804241607.MAA02201@nospokes.gtri.gatech.edu> (raw)

I've written a simulation library on top of PVM in C++ which I'm compiling
with EGCS 1.0.2.  The library has bindings for C, C++, FORTRAN, and Ada.
I intentionally stayed away from declaring any static global objects
which would need global constructors so that they library could be linked
with a non-C++ compiler.  I am using standard library classes string,
ifstream, ofstream, and various STL containers.  Any global objects are
new'd and accessed via a pointer.

Are there any global objects in the standard library which would still
require a global constructor/destructor which would not get initialized
properly when linked with a non-C++ compiler?

Is this addressed by the standard?  Is it library implementation dependent?

Thanks,
Greg
