            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Example showing failure to initialize a dynamic library after multiple calls to
dlopen().

If a dynamic library is loaded multiple times via dlopen(), subsequent loads do
not correctly initialize static variables under the following conditions:
1) A class/struct with a constructor
2) with an inlined function
3) containing a static variable.
Please run the attached example.
  # tar xf gcc_static_issue.tgz
  # cd gcc_static_issue
  # make
  # ./test_static
  Expected behavior (as on RHEL5, g++ 4.1.2):
  Type 'q' to exit or enter to reload/run the DLL
  count:1

  count:1

  count:1

  count:1

  count:1
  q
  #
Actual behavior (as on RHEL6 and RHEL7beta, g++ 4.4.7 and 4.8.2, respectively):
  Type 'q' to exit or enter to reload/run the DLL
  count:1

  count:2

  count:3

  count:4

  count:5
  q
