--- Comment #25 from Erich Löw <Erich.Loew at outlook dot com> --- With system GCC 15.0.1 I do as below.... I created: main.cc #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct A { A() { } }; [[gnu::init_priority(99)]] A a; [[gnu::init_priority(99)]] A a2; struct B { B() { } }; [[gnu::init_priority(99)]] B b; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { void const *const addrA1 = (void const *const)&a; void const *const addrA2 = (void const *const)&a2; void const *const addrB = (void const *const)&b; printf("Addr(a) == 0x%016Xu\n", addrA1); printf("Addr(a2) == 0x%016Xu\n", addrA2); printf("Addr(b) == 0x%016Xu\n", addrB); return 0; } The obligatory Makefile # MAKE file CXX = g++ LD = g++ -s INC = -I./ test: all all: 118981 clean: -rm -f *.o *.so -rm -f 118981 118981 : main.cc $(CXX) $(INC) -c -o main.o main.cc $(LD) -o 118981 main.o ------------------------------------------------ Compiling with close to LATEST system GCC 15.0.1 root:/home/SETUP/Examples/GNU-118981> g++ --version g++ (GCC) 15.0.1 20250218 (experimental) Copyright (C) 2025 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Now I check with interim xgcc in next comment slice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
