+/*
+ * 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)
