As a MinGW user, I would prefer not to see __cxa_atexit added to MinGW. I really want MinGW to provide the ability to link to MSVCRT: nothing more, nothing less. Cygwin is an excellent solution if I want a more UNIX-like environment. I think it would be better to adopt G++ to use whatever method Microsoft uses to handle static destructions. Ultimately, I would like to see G++ support the Microsoft C++ ABI -- unless we can convince Microsoft to support the cross-platform C++ ABI. :-) -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
