Shared library bug

["Bogus User" <bogus_user at hotmail dot com>]

Howdy,

I'm running RedHat Linux 6.0 using the version of egcs that comes with it, 
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release).

The problem seems to be that if a variable is declared inside a shared 
library, the constructor doesn't get called.  If you compile the following 
files (should be 3 of them plus a makefile) and try to run it, it seg faults 
inside the Standard Template Library code.  I've tried this with a newer and 
older version of the STL and both give the same results.

If the code is compiled into a static library, then everything runs fine.

----------------- test.cpp ---------------------------------------
#include "test.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  f[0].doStuff();
}
------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------- test1.cpp ---------------------------------------
#include "test.h"
#include <stdio.h>

struct foo f[2];

void foo::doStuff(){
  int_map::iterator i = im.find(3);
  printf("done\n");
}
------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------- test.h ---------------------------------------
#include <map>

typedef map<int, int, less <int> > int_map;

struct foo {
  int_map im;
  void doStuff();
};

extern foo f[];
------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------- Makefile ---------------------------------------
CPP = g++ -g
LIB = libtest.so
TARGET = test

all: clean ${LIB} ${TARGET}

test: test.cpp
	${CPP} -o test test.cpp -L. -ltest

libtest.so: test1.o
	ld -shared -o libtest.so test1.o

test1.o: test1.cpp
	${CPP} -o test1.o -c test1.cpp

clean:
	rm -f ${TARGET} *.o *.a *.so
------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
Rich
