Here's a snippet (Last code line in cpp is on 161): 159:N:/Indel-PPC/Tests/gccext3/applicat/src/CTaskTemplateClass.cpp **** 160:N:/Indel-PPC/Tests/gccext3/applicat/src/CTaskTemplateClass.cpp **** // end _TASK_CLASS_NAME_::Action 161:N:/Indel-PPC/Tests/gccext3/applicat/src/CTaskTemplateClass.cpp **** } 153 .loc 3 161 0 154 0000 9421FFD8 stwu 1,-40(1) #,, 155 .LCFI8: 156 0004 7C0802A6 mflr 0 #, 157 .LCFI9: 158 0008 93E10024 stw 31,36(1) #, 159 .LCFI10: 160 000c 9001002C stw 0,44(1) #, 161 .LCFI11: 162 0010 7C3F0B78 mr 31,1 #, 163 .LCFI12: 164 0014 907F0018 stw 3,24(31) # __initialize_p, __initialize_p 165 0018 909F001C stw 4,28(31) # __priority, __priority ...(snip)... 175 .loc 3 65 0 176 003c 3D200000 lis 9,.LC7@ha # tmp125, 177 0040 38090064 la 0,.LC7@l(9) # tmp124,, tmp125 178 0044 90010008 stw 0,8(1) #, tmp124 179 0048 3D200000 lis 9,.LC7@ha # tmp127, Various initializing code is put together and starts with the biggest line number. So it's placed at the end of the source file lines and everything after that must come later. Don't know... bye Fabi
