Yes, it's and it was exploited in last year. I was cleaning the code adding support for g++ about five years ago using xHarbour repository and above RH7.3 with gcc-2.96 and for sure it was working correctly. > since now i am completely confused, would someone do a test build with > g++ 2.95 (and perhaps gcc3 too) to doublecheck me? it'd be probably > nice to know this both on linux and some other non-unixy platform too. Using C++ initialization (HB_STATIC_STARTUP) or recently added HB_INITSEG_STARTUP it works. The problem is only with __attribute__ ((constructor)) used in GCC-2.x C++ mode (I haven't tested GCC-3.x). I think that we exploited this problem in this year. It possible that it's also the reason of problems with SunPRO C builds in Linux, i.e. it GPFs in hbtest because not all constructors are executed and some symbol tables from .prg modules in HBRTL are not initialized. Anyhow it does not have to mean it's Harbour problem. It rather seems to be side effect of exploiting some limits in older GCC or GNU ld versions or maybe modified link command. I'll try to look at it closely but I do not promise that I'll give you the exact answer what is the reason of problem. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
