[gmpi] Re: Linux C++ question

* For maximum portability, GMPI plugins should not declare static objects
 (C++).  Some platforms are known to have problems unloading DLLs with
 static objects.


Seems way too strict to me.

Static objects, aka "singletons", are a very common C++ idiom. My guess would be if the compiler barfed it might be due to a mixture of C-isms such as "atexit" with C++ code.

IMO GMP should not legislate against a language feature. We've got the C ABI to keep the interface language neutral. Everything else should be fair game.
