[jira] Updated: (QPID-2391) Use of global static intializers in code creates problems for a correct Windows static build

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-2391?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Stitcher updated QPID-2391:
----------------------------------

    Priority: Minor  (was: Major)

Its not clear to me that supporting a static library version of libqpidcommon is really very important, so I've decreased the priority

> The use of global static intilaizers like the StaticInit struct in:
>  qpid\cpp\src\qpid\client\windows\TCPConnector.cpp
>  qpid\cpp\src\qpid\client\windows\SslConnector.cpp
> won't work at runtime in a static compile/link of qpidc. The transport factory registrations won't happen since the linker will strip out these unreferenced symbols. Not a problem in the DLL model. There are few options for addressing this in the linker command line (e.g., /INCLUDE:<mangled name of symbol>), in the devenv ("Link Library Dependencies", "Use Library Dependency Inputs"), or writing function wrappers to force load - none of which seem very useful.
> There may be more instances of this pattern in the code elsewhere.
