24 // We need to avoid having static constructors. We achieve this
25 // with two separate methods for GCC and MSVC. Both methods prevent the static
26 // initializers from being registered and called on program startup. On GCC, we
27 // declare the global objects with a different type that can be POD default
28 // initialized by the linker/loader. On MSVC we use a special compiler feature
29 // to have the CRT ignore our static initializers. The constructors will never
30 // be called and the objects will be left uninitialized.
31 //
32 // With both of these approaches, we must define and explicitly call an init
33 // routine that uses placement new to create the objects and overwrite the
34 // uninitialized placeholders.
35 //
36 // This is not completely portable, but is what we have for now without
37 // changing how a lot of code accesses these global objects.

39 #ifdef SKIP_STATIC_CONSTRUCTORS_ON_MSVC
40 // - Assume that all includes of this header want ALL of their static
41 //   initializers ignored. This is currently the case. This means that if
42 //   a .cc includes this header (or it somehow gets included), all static
43 //   initializers after the include will not be executed.
44 // - We do this with a pragma, so that all of the static initializer pointers
45 //   go into our own section, and the CRT won't call them. Eventually it would
46 //   be nice if the section was discarded, because we don't want the pointers.
