Dear list,

I'm currently trying to port a project (using C++) from mspgcc (3.2.3) 
to mspgcc4. It is a generic C++ library, running (among other systems) 
on top of Contiki (which is a C-based firmware/OS).

As far as I know, constructors of global C++ objects are not called 
automatically, so that the user must call them manually. So far I did 
this successfully via
   typedef void(*ctor_t)();
   extern ctor_t __ctors_start;
   extern ctor_t __ctors_end;
   ...
   ctor_t ctor = __ctors_start;
   while( ctor < __ctors_end )
   {
     ctor();
     ctor = (ctor_t)((void*)ctor + sizeof(void*));
   }

However, compiling the project with mspgcc4, it doesn't work anymore. 
Printing addresses of ctors_start/end via
   printf( "Call ctors from %04x to %04x\n",
     (unsigned int)*__ctors_start,
     (unsigned int)*__ctors_end );
produces a higher number for ctors start address than for the end 
(looking in the *.map-file, everything looks fine).

Do I understand sth wrong (so, is the above code incorrect, and it 
worked on the 3.2.3 just "by luck")? Do you have an idea, how I should 
call the constructors?

Or is the information above incomplete - then please let me know!


Best,
Tobias
