Hi, Just wanted to confirm whether the use of global static variables are allowed in attribute constructor(foo_init)/destructor(foo_fini). I have a shared library that in foo_init reads a file and writes to static global variables. In foo_fini it writes that information (possibly modified) back to the file. Now under gcc 4.0.1 (from MandrivaLinux 2006) I didn't see any issues. In gcc 4.1.1 (from MandrivaLinux 2007) I've found the destructors for the globals are run before foo_fini, causing problems for C++ objects (std::string in my case). This does imply to me that if C++ globals are invalid then technically all globals are invalid. So wanted to ask if this is a bug and/or what is the correct way to do this?
