Re: C++ global constructors in xsub?

Thanks for your reply. However, I'm not sure if your example requires
global constructors (I'm not well experienced with C++, so I'm not
exactly sure what constructs require this; static members maybe?).
What I'm referring to by "global constructors" is code that gets run by
__do_global_ctors() when the program starts up.

The library I'm writing the xsub for is a 3rd party library, so I don't
have access to the souce or anything. However, I'm pretty sure this is
the problem. It works fine with LINKTYPE=static, and in the debugger I
can actually see it call the library from __do_global_ctors(). With a
dynamic build, it first calls the library when I call one of the xsub
functions, and dies with a bus error or memory error.
