Good point.  I’ll update all the places I can.

Ultimately it was because tablegen couldn’t set the values of the private fields when it used the ‘x = { … }’ syntax.

I’m actually creating loads of globals, but with ‘= { … }’.  I think those still count as static if I include the default constructor.  I’ll check.

Yeah, its not perfect.  Ultimately it would be better to avoid any non-tablegen constructing of these values, but this is the only one I can’t eliminate right now.

Sure.  I’m happy to add that to this patch.

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately this requires more source changes as now we can’t have pointers to the default model.  In fact cleaning this up basically removes pointers to MCSchedModel from all the compiler.
