Dynamic initialization phase of static variables
<p>The standard specifically states that dynamic initialization of static duration variables (namespace scope and class static members) does not have to occur before main is executed:
 "It is implementation-defined whether or not the dynamic initialization (8.5, 9.4, 12.1, 12.6.1) of an object of namespace scope is done before the first statement of main." IS 3.6.2(3)
Is it not how dynamic initialization is [always?] implemented? What better/easier way to guarantee that the objects are initialized before use? </p>
