SYMPTOMS
When targeting Windows CE 2.00 and linking with C run-time dynamic libraries (Msvcrt.dll or Msvcrtd.dll), global C++ objects are not initialized.
RESOLUTION
If C++ global objects are being used, do not use the C run-time dynamic libraries. Use the static run-time libraries instead.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The C run-time dynamic libraries were available only with Windows CE version 2.0. Devices using Windows CE version 1.0 or Windows CE 2.01 and later should not use these libraries. The following program demonstrates the problem when linked with Msvcrt or Msvcrtd:
// Sample.cpp -
//
// Should show the constructor message before the main program
// message. Instead, the constructor message isn't shown at all.
//
#include <windows.h>
#define MSG(z) MessageBox(0,z,TEXT("Sample"),MB_OK)
struct MYCLASS
{
MYCLASS() { MSG(TEXT("Constructor called.")); }
};
MYCLASS myclass;
int WINAPI WinMain(
HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
MSG(TEXT("Main program."));
return 0;
}
