Call a 'register' function from a constructor of a static dummy object.
This is sometimes troublesome with shared objects/older compiler,

Can you sketch this in pseudo code, perhaps? This is beyond my C++ 
experience.
    

static struct FooInsetInitializer {
        FooInsetInitializer() { callSomeRegistrationFunction(); }
} dummy;
  

Thanks but sorry, this by itself doesn't mean much to me. I need 
help---or a reference---on which all this registration business is 
about, and how it will help me when I'm trying to call static methods of 
a class. Is the idea that the registration function might pass pointers 
to the static methods it wants called in various cases? If so, I think I 
vaguely understand this. But then: When and how do the 
InsetFooInitializer's themselves get called?
