[cfe-dev] Clang equivalent to __attribute__(init_priority)?

[Jeffrey Walton]

I'm catching a crash due to a library's use of a global string. The
library provides it, and I [indirectly] consume it. I understand why
the crash happens and that's not a problem.

What's giving me trouble is __attribute__(init_priority) [1]. It does
not appear to be honored, and I'm not getting a warning about it (or a
failed compile like __attribute__(aligned)).

Is there anyway to force the construction of an object in Clang similar to GCC?

Thanks,

Jeff
