Global constructor mangling

[bjorn rohde jensen]

Hi Alexy,

 Part of the idea behind name mangling is to
protect against accidentally linking incompatible
object files together, so it is certainly best, if
you make sure, you are using C++ object files
generated by 1 and only 1 compiler. Plain C code is
more forgiving, so you probably dont need to
recompile the entire distributions system libraries,
which really would be a pain;) This is my experience
at least.
 One can not take successful linkage as a guarantee
of much besides no unresolved symbols, just like
successful compilation does not ensure code sanity:)

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn
