------- Additional Comments From sabre at nondot dot org 2005-04-18 18:41 ------- Is this optimization valid? Note that it will change the behavior of this c++ program:
---- #include <stdio.h> static const double X = 1.0; static struct S { S(); } s; static const double Y = X+2.0; S::S() { printf("%f\n", Y); } int main() {} ---- In particular, I think the C++ standard specifies that memory is zero initialized and then ctors (within a translation unit) are run in order. IANALL though. -Chris -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21089
