Bug#521582: gdc-4.1: "circular initialization dependency" depending on link order
Package: gdc-4.1
Version: 0.25-4.1.2-23.2
Severity: normal
Torus Trooper (0.22.dfsg1-4) fails to start with this error message
depending on the order in which the object files were linked:
"Error: circular initialization dependency with module abagames.tt.shape"
This command produces a working binary:
gdc -o torus-trooper src/abagames/tt/camera.o src/abagames/tt/boot.o \
src/abagames/tt/barrage.o src/abagames/tt/bullettarget.o \

src/abagames/util/logger.o import/SDL_video.o import/SDL_mixer.o \
-lbulletml -lSDL -lGL -lGLU -lSDL_mixer
And this command produces a broken binary:

I don't know how to reduce this testcase (leaving out files obviously
causes a failed link), but hopefully this information is useful to
somebody with knowledge of the compiler.
