sl@0:  * The conversation with Matti Rintala on STLport forum 2005-08-24:
sl@0:  *
sl@0:  * Do you mean ISO/IEC 14882 3.6.3 [basic.start.term]?
sl@0:  *
sl@0:  * Yes. "Destructors (12.4) for initialized objects of static storage duration
sl@0:  * (declared at block scope or at namespace scope) are called as a result
sl@0:  * of returning from main and as a result of calling exit (18.3). These objects
sl@0:  * are destroyed in the reverse order of the completion of their constructor
sl@0:  * or of the completion of their dynamic initialization."
sl@0:  *
sl@0:  * I found a confirmation on the web that gcc may not strictly conform
sl@0:  * to this behaviour in certains cases unless -fuse-cxa-atexit is used.
sl@0:  *
sl@0:  * Test below give (without -fuse-cxa-atexit)

sl@0: 
sl@0: 
sl@0:  * but should:

sl@0: Init::use_it
sl@0: It ctor done    <-- 0
sl@0: Init::use_it done
