/*----------------------------------------------------------------------
This simple C++ program demonstrates that static constructors (destructors)
are invoked by Elk when loading a compiled C++ file (when exiting).
o Compile the shared object, for instance:
CC -pic -shared constructor.cpp -o constructor.so -lelk
or:
g++ -fPIC -shared constructor.ppc -o constructor.so -lelk
o Now "(load 'constructor.so)", observe the "invoking constructor" message,
and evaluate "(test)", which should return 3. Terminate the interpreter
and observe the "invoking destructor" message.
o If you get a message from the linker complaining about `Text relocation
remains against symbol _GLOBAL_.D.P_Test__Fv', you have probably run
into a known bug in g++ on ELF-based systems (such as Solaris 2.x).
In this case you have to link your C++ extensions with Elk statically
or use a different C++ compiler.
o If static constructors don't get called when loading compiled C++ files,
your C++ compiler is probably using a naming convention for static
constructors and destructors that is not anticipated by the current
version of Elk.
In this case, you may want to find out what kind of names are used
(by applying "nm" to an object file) and add the name prefixes to
the Init_Prefixes and Finit_Prefixes lists in src/stab.c in the Elk
source tree. Then recompile Elk. Send me mail.
