Module constructor is not called when it is placed in imported module, and WinMain is used.


module hello;

import core.runtime;
import std.c.windows.windows;
import std.stdio;
import a;

extern (Windows)
int WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
	HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
	LPSTR lpCmdLine,
	int nCmdShow)
{
    int result;

    void exceptionHandler (Throwable ex) { throw ex; }

    Runtime.initialize(&exceptionHandler);

    result = myWinMain();

    Runtime.terminate(&exceptionHandler);

    return result;
}

int main ()
{
   writeln (i1); // <---------------- prints "1" wich is ok.
   writeln (i2); // <---------------- prints "0" wich is incorrect.
   return 1;
}


/------

module a;

int i1 = 1;
int i2;

static this () {

    i2 = 2;
}

Are there some changes to runtime initialization, or it is a bug? (in that case I will submit it).

You should submit it.

I should have been a little more clear, a static this() as a member of a class.

Still works:
--------------------------

H:\cbx>type test.d

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    printf("hello\n");
}

class C
{
    static this()
    {
        printf("betty\n");
    }
}


H:\cbx>dmd test

H:\cbx>test
betty
hello

H:\cbx>

hmmm doesn't for me, but works just fine in the previous rev.

Yup. And all these fixes are due to quite a lot of people contributing.

There were some changes and I must have missed updating rt_init().  Please submit a bug.  What you'll likely see is shared static ctors being called but not thread-specific (ie. non-shared) static ctors called for the main thread.
