It's more like > 'constructors for static and global objects'. Yeah, my knowledge of C++ is not so good... I have changed the latest version to use this instead: +Some programs contain an elaboration phase where some startup code is +executed before the main program is called. This depends on the +languages used to write your program. In C@t{++} for instance, +constructors for static and global objects are executed before +@code{main} is called. It is therefore possible that the debugger stops +before reaching the main procedure. However, the temporary breakpoint +will remain to halt execution. -- Joel
