The priority is encoded in section names, so use readelf -S or
objdump -h to display the section headers.

For this:
#include <stdio.h>

class A
{
public:
  A() {
    printf ("A\n");
  }
public:
  ~A() {
    printf ("~A\n");
  }
};

A a __attribute__ ((init_priority (1000)));

You'll see sections like .init_array.01000 for reasonably recent gcc.
