Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of C++ programs with static objects    *
  *                 requiring constructors to be executed at     *
  *                 initialization and destructors to be         *
  *                 executed at termination.  The C++ programs   *
  *                 are link-edited with OS/390 R2 (LE 1.6)      *
  *                 and pull in the OpenEdition C Signature      *
  *                 CSECT EDCOSG03.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: C++ constructors/destructors for static *
  *                      objects not being run under OS/390 R2   *
  *                      system.                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  C++ programs link-edited with OS/390 R2 (with PN85059 applied
  and bringing in the OpenEditon signature CSECT EDCOSG03) will
  experience a problem where constructors/destructors are not
  executed when run on the OS/390 R2 platform.  This is because
  the OpenEdition signature version was changed to 3, but the C
  initialization code still tested for version 2 when looking to
  see if C++ existed in the module.  This test is what triggers
  the execution of the static C++ constructors/destructors.  The
  failure to run the constructors/destructors may cause various
  problems with the user's applications.
  

Problem conclusion

• Testing of OpenEdition Signature CSECT will be corrected.
