Hi Chad,

I presume because the .SO's global initializer is not being called.

Maybe.

Yes.
Instead of writing:
const int uno = 1;
const int dos = 2;
const int tres = 3;
Write this:
int GetUno()
{
static int uno = 1;
return uno;
}
int GetDos()
{
static int dos = 1;
return dos;
}
int GetTres()
{
static int tres = 3;
return tres;
}
Then use the accessor functions instead of globals.
In C/C++, there is no guarantee as to the order of construction betwixt
translation units. This technique will guarantee order of construction
(provided you do not have a circular dependency).
