Bug#180129: g++-3.2: please use --enable-__cxa_atexit

["Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer" <markus@oberhumer.com>]

Package: g++-3.2
Version: 1:3.2.2-1
Severity: normal

For a standard conforming compiler, g++-3.2 must be configured with
--enable-__cxa_atexit (the function __cxa_atexit is in libc6).

>From gcc-3.2.2/gcc/config.in:

/* Define if you want to use __cxa_atexit, rather than atexit, to
   register C++ destructors for local statics and global objects.
   This is essential for fully standards-compliant handling of
   destructors, but requires __cxa_atexit in libc. */
#undef DEFAULT_USE_CXA_ATEXIT

For more background information on this topic have a look at a recent
C++ book like "Modern C++ Design" by A. Alexandrescu.

Thanks,
Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer
