// For WebCore we need to avoid having static constructors.

// Our strategy is to declare the global objects with a different type (initialized to 0)

// and then use placement new to initialize the global objects later. This is not completely

// portable, and it would be good to figure out a 100% clean way that still avoids code that

// runs at init time.

#ifndef AVOID_STATIC_CONSTRUCTORS

    // Define an global in the normal way.

// Define an correctly-sized array of pointers to avoid static initialization.

// Use an array of pointers instead of an array of char in case there is some alignment issue.
