Hi Paul,
Sorry, I'm not clear..

Are you saying GMPI does not support static objects?, or does?

If we are fully supporting C++, are we able to use static objects in the SDK? (they can be useful, specifically for singletons).

Best Regards,
Jeff

should ..we  allow the plugin
base class to run on older GNU installations (those that pre-date
__cxa_atexit()).

No, we should not. 

However, i think we could recommend the "no static objects, use
new/delete in constructor/destructor methods" approach.


I'd also be fine saying that a GMPI platform must support the ability to
load and unload dlls with static objects.  This may require compiler
flags for people building plugins.  (and it means my RH8 era Cobalt is out
of the game as a GMPI platform)



We can say both.
