In C++, the compilation is not guaranteed to succeed if the variable is not explicitly _instantiated_ in some compilation unit (rather than just being declared as extern). An initialization need not happen: binary zeros is the default. Unless we are talking classes with constructors. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
