I partly agree and will give that approach another try.
The huge drawback is that a shared library is self-contained w.r.t.
module construction, TLS and EH. When doing this on a per object base
the overhead increases with the number of linked objects and
guaranteeing
ordered initialization becomes non-trivial.
Yeah, I thought of that after I posted it.
I think I finally found a feasible solution.
It is possible to create a section group consisting of
a constructor/destructor referencing entries in .ctors/.dtors
and probably related data. The will be treated as one combined
COMDAT and subsequently get merged to a unique instance of each.
