[gmpi] Re: Linux C++ question

Being familiar with the Symbian OS, I'd like to second this statement.
Symbian does not allow writable static data in DLLs.


A static object is not writable static data.

A static object is one whose contstruction happens automatically at module load time, and whose destruction happens automatically at module unload time. The caveat is the the construction/destruction order of static objects is unspecified.

Static objects are a good thing, particular for things like factories, shared code across plugin instances, etc. We're better off understanding how they work, and identified particular platform gotchas, then banishing them outright.
