All global C++ variables that have constructors must have their constructor called before main(). The compiler builds a table of global constructor addresses that must be called, in order, before main() in a section called .init_array. The linker combines the .init_array section form each input file to form a single table in the .init_array section. The boot routine uses this table to execute the constructors. The linker defines two symbols to identify the combined .init_array table as shown below. This table is not null terminated by the linker.
