Hi, I'm using static ctors with classes, so that some stuff is constructed before anything else uses it. Because I don't have the normal startup code in my D kernel, I'm calling _moduleCtor myself. But it seems that nothing happens.

Is the static ctor functionality not yet implemented? Am I missing something? Can I mix normal ctors and static ones, that's what I do.

   Yes you can (mix normal and static ones) and it works for me. Did you called _minit() before _moduleCtor?

   I have problems when making library out of such modules (with static constructor/destructor) when static constructor/destructor are not called. My workaround is to use such modules directly on command line of dmd not in library :(

Hi, no. What's this function for? I have to look it up.

?? Not sure if I understood you correctly: You mean that you link such files as object files via the command line instead of using a lib file?

   Have a look at winsamp.d at the samples directory.

   No, I mean I have to include them on dmd command line as .d or .obj files. If I compile them and make library out of them then static constructors/destructors are not called. Anyway, if you did not call _minit() that could be the cause of the problem.

This seems to be very windows specific to me. I'm using the Linux DMD version for Dernel. Looks like this doesn't solve my problem. Robert
