Hi, I have a problem using external variables in the constructor code of my shared library. The constructor code is an init() function labeled by gcc __attribute__((constructor)). In that function I make a reference to an extern variable X provided by the driving app. The problem is that X is not yet initialized at the moment init() is invoked, which is before main() is entered. A solution might be to introduce a init flag and move the initialization code to some other exported function, but this is not really elegant. I will appreciate any alternative suggestion. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/External-variables-in-shared-library-constructor-code-tp18976389p18976389.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
