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

Init::Init()
Init::use_it
It ctor done    <-- 0
Init::use_it done
Init ctor done  <-- 1
Init2 ctor done <-- 2
It dtor done    <-- 0
Init2 dtor done <-- 2
Init dtor done  <-- 1


 * but should:

Init::Init()
Init::use_it
It ctor done    <-- 0
Init::use_it done
Init ctor done  <-- 1
Init2 ctor done <-- 2
Init2 dtor done <-- 2
Init dtor done  <-- 1
It dtor done    <-- 0
