Hi,

  I was trying to build groff but it didn't pass the c++
compiler test in c++test.c, which is:

#include <stdio.h>

struct A {
  A() { fputs("A\n", stdout); }
  ~A() { fputs("~A\n", stdout); }
};

A a;

main()
{
  return 0;
}


I thought maybe the optimizer trashed it, but I tried it
several different ways.  It appears that g++ does not call
the creator for statically declared variables.  Is this
correct behavior?  The following, however, works fine:

#include <stdio.h>

struct A {
  A() { fputs("A\n", stdout); }
  ~A() { fputs("~A\n", stdout); }
};

main()
{
  A a;
  return 0;
}


If this is not a bug, perhaps the groff people should
be notified, since groff-1.05 currently will not compile
if it fails the c++test.  By the way, the groff people
expect the output of the program to be:
A
~A
