[omniORB] Omni_mutex and static global object

[renny.koshy at rubixinfotech.com]

Alex,

I've hit the problem with Sun's CC compiler, GNU g++ -- though that was in
1998 ... have never even tried to use static initializers since.  One
problem for instance, was the order that g++ initialized and CC initialized
things were completely different, and we couldn't figure out what to do.

Modern C++ compilers don't seem to have this problem. I regularly use
GNU/g++, Sun/CC, IBM/xlC, DEC/cxx and HP/aCC and I have never once had
trouble with static initialisers.

Can anyone name a modern C++ compiler that actually exhibits this
problem?
