Hi all.

I suspect the GNUARM compiler to have a flaw, since the following code
doesn't work as intended:

(Header)
class A
{
    public:
        A(int x);
        int m_x;
        static A* get_a_Instance();

    private:
        static A m_a;
        static A m_b;

};
(Source)
A A::m_a(1);
A A::m_b(2);

A::A(int x)
{
    m_x = x;
}

A* A::get_a_Instance()
{
   return &m_a;
}

int main()
{
   A* temp_a = get_a_Instance();
   int x = temp_a->m_x;
}

The problem is that the constuctor doesn_t get called, causing m_x to
have a garbage value (or 0). Even if I make an object of type A first,
it doesn't work. 
Is it something I have to setup in my startup.s file?

Best Regards
