   Subject: Are these bugs in GCC2.0?
   
   
   
   I used GCC 2.0 to recompile some of my existing code, and seem to find
   the following "bugs":
   
   (1) Redefining/Overloading the global ::operator new(size_t) doesn't work?
       (Interestingly, GCC 2.0 allows me to get around this by redefining 
        the internal function ::__builtin_new(size_t))
   
This is a bug in GCC 2.0.  I have fixes for this, but they were not
ready in time for the release.

   (2) Initialization of global static objects with constructors doesn't seem
       to call their corresponding constructors, eg:
   
       class AtomTable
       {
   	....
           int table_size;
   
         public:
    	AtomTable(int init_size);
       };
   
       AtomTable::AtomTable(int init_size) 
       {
   	...
   	table_size = init_size;
       }
   
       AtomTable table(1024);
   
       main()
       {
   	...

This is probably a result of not using GNU ld.
