If its in a shared library, then that shared library gets setup
prior to your binary.
There is nothing that you can do. You gotta override rather
than initialize.
Thanks Rikki.
I was wrong in my statement of the problem: it is not a dynamic
library, but rather a static library, libgtkd-3.a.
I apologize for being so careless.
libgtkd-3.a throws an exception before main is reached, in the
Loader.d file, in a method with signature 'public static void
loadLibrary(string library)'. That method is used trying to load
a library which really is dynamic, libatk-1.0.0.dylib. That
library is in my system, among the Mac ports files, in a standard
place, namely /opt/local/lib. I can set the environment variable
GTK_BASEPATH to help it out, and that works, but i would like to
do all of this inside the executable rather than outside the
executable.
The Loader.d file depends on std.process.
So, given that i was wrong and it is not a dynamic library i'm
trying to get in ahead of, but a static one, is there a way to
execute a small snippet of code after std.process is initialized,
but before any other code (such as Loader.d) uses it?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
