Thanks for reply Vojtěch, but are you referring to Delphi or FPC
optimization?
In general. You should never rely on such behaviour.
This is not very robust programming.
I think that FPC should keep the Delphi class constructor behaviour in MODE
DELPHI, allowing the programmers to port Delphi libraries to FPC, but ...
I suspect the problem is not in the mode, but in detecting whether a class is
used
or not in a program. It becomes very complicated when you use e.g. run-time
packages.
Delphi itself is buggy in this regard, and has been since at least D7.
For this reason, in general I advise against extensive use of initialization
sections etc...
Michael.
