--- Comment #104 from Ian Lance Taylor <ian at airs dot com> 2012-04-22 22:26:50 UTC --- I'm not sure what you mean. Each object file will have a .init_array section. The linker will assemble those sections in the usual manner. The order of global constructors in a single translation unit is fixed by the language standard. The thing that is not fixed is the order between translation units. So each object file will have a .init_array section that will typically contain only a single pointer. The order in which those input .init_array sections are combined into an output .init_array section will determine the order in which the constructors are run.
