I have a C++ code with some static declarations. In the absence of main() is
there a way to initialize the statics properly?

What appears to be the problem? g++ does emit magic to get C++
globals initialized if you link in the gcc run-time object files,
which are implicitly linked in when you use g++ for linking.

Thanks for your response. I do not have a main() program. I am creating a
shared library using g++. This shared library gets called from an existing
commercial application hence I do not have control over it.
As I understand the process, g++ emits magic during main() call to
initialize "static const" variables to their defined value. I have seen that
if the variables do not get initialized proeprly specifically if they are of
string type. I have found out that the reason for this is absence of main()
in my program, where these variables are supposed to be initialized.
After reading some reference books, I have found out that there may be a
compiler dependent procedure that I can call to initialize these variable.
Specifically since I am using g++ compiler, what function call can I make to
intialize all my static const string variables properly.

Sarangdhar,
You may want to investigate using the -finit-priority flag, and
marking up your sources to indicate when specific items should be
initialized.
See this page:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0/gcc_6.html#SEC121
You might also want to scope the g++ testsuite for examples.
best,
benjamin

Hi,
i have the same problem.
i am using Linux 2.4.4-4 with JDK 1.3.1 and egcs 2.95.3
I want to call one method in a native, shared C++ library from
Java, using JNI. So i have no main() program.
The C++ .so lib depends on other .so libs
which have many C++ classes which are
usually initialized automatically on startup before the
main() method (if i invoke
the old C++ application executable).
Now it seems, that the java System.load() which
loads the C++ shared library
does not call something like _main_()
I believe all my global C++ classes are
uninitialized - as i get this error:
--------------------------
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x405927d9
Function
name=__as__t12basic_string3ZcZt18string_char_traits1ZcZt24__default_alloc_template2b1i0RCt12basic_string3ZcZt18string_char_traits1ZcZt24__default_alloc_template2b1i0
Library=/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
---------------------------
Is there any lowlevel main() in the Linux clib
which i can invoke manually?
thanks for any hint,
Marcel
