gcc - static pointer initialization problem

["Alan Cooley" <alan at vacooley dot com>]

Hello,

I am having a problem with a C program.  It appears that static variables
are not being initialized when in an object file.   The program compiles and
links fine but funcPtrStruct.ptr is null so program crashes.

This program works using gcc on Linux and (as I understand the C language)
should work anywhere.

Thanks in advance for any explanation/corrections you can provide.

Alan.
