D - Dernel: _moduleCtor not working correct?

Hi, I'm using static ctors with classes, so that some stuff is constructed  
before anything else uses it. Because I don't have the normal startup code  
in my D kernel, I'm calling _moduleCtor myself. But it seems that nothing  
happens.

Is the static ctor functionality not yet implemented? Am I missing  
something? Can I mix normal ctors and static ones, that's what I do.

    Yes you can (mix normal and static ones) and it works for me. Did 
you called _minit() before _moduleCtor?

    I have problems when making library out of such modules (with static 
constructor/destructor) when static constructor/destructor are not 
called. My workaround is to use such modules directly on command line of 
dmd not in library :(

Hi, no. What's this function for? I have to look it up.

?? Not sure if I understood you correctly: You mean that you link such  
files as object files via the command line instead of using a lib file?

    Have a look at winsamp.d at the samples directory.

    No, I mean I have to include them on dmd command line as .d or .obj 
files. If I compile them and make library out of them then static 
constructors/destructors are not called. Anyway, if you did not call 
_minit() that could be the cause of the problem.

This seems to be very windows specific to me. I'm using the Linux DMD  
version for Dernel. Looks like this doesn't solve my problem. Robert
