[lwip-devel] [bug #20254] Initializing static/global variables

[Petr Cernin]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #20254 (project lwip):

I agree that the primary problem is on my side - my compiler/linker/startup
code seems to be broken.

But: There is a lot of predecents in lwip source code.
Please look at:

igmp_init()
ip_reass_init()
mem_init()
netif_init()
raw_init()
stats_init()
tcp_init()
...
...

In my opinion the explicit initialization is a little bit cleaner than
implicit one done by startup code. 

More over, it think it would be nice if lwip stack has implemented cleanup()
functionality -- where all allocated resources are released. Then the
complete initialization of global variables inside _init() functions is
necessary.
