static objects in libraries

[camel]

I think using static variables across library boundaries is something one should rather avoid. (Googling should give you some material, something like initialization is not asured for example).

I would try to use static variables inside a wrapper function.

int &SomeClass::staticInt()
{
   static int realInt;
   return realInt;
}

int &SomeClass::staticInt()
{
   static int realInt;
   return realInt;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

(Or check how its done in Qt using the Q_GLOBAL_STATIC macro..which is neither documented, nor public api in the moment as far as I know)

Maybe I've used the wrong words, but I didn't find sth useful.

Both approaches didn't really change the current behaviour. Is the only solution to transfer pointers of the objects that need to be exactly the same in the app and the plugins through the plugin interface?
I'm still wondering why it works on Linux, but not on Windows.
Another problem that comes to my mind now: on Windows qobject_casts of pointers from the plugins in the app don't work, but dynamic_casts do. I'm using gcc-3.4.6 on Linux and the current stable MinGW (gcc-3.4.2) on Windows.

I've got a similar problem as described in:

I haven't found a solution for Windows yet but this thread describes the backround quite will.
