calling destructors without calling constructors! for static object

[Igor Durdanovic]

The following code demonstrates what I would call a bug.
It calls global destructor for C although C was never constructed!

#include <iostream>

struct A
{
   A() { cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << endl; }
  ~A() { cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << endl; }
};

struct B
{
   B() { cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << endl; exit(0); }
  ~B() { cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << endl; }
};

struct C
{
   C() { cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << endl; }
  ~C() { cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << endl; }
};

A a;
B b;
C c;

int main()
{
  return 0;
}
