Thanks for the link. Will get back to you on it.
Yes that was a tricky one. We used a mix of manual (for OS) + automatic
(for applns) invoking of the constructors.

That sounds very interesting indeed. Lots of people have asked about
that,
and we've usually considered it too difficult. How did you deal with
constructor priority ordering? It'll certainly be an interesting set of
changes!

Great.

We've got a write-up here, and it's probably not worth me repeating it
all:
http://ecos.sourceware.org/patches.html
But we should probably talk in more detail about the copyright
assignment... we've talked to people in Intel before who have had some
difficulty in persuading the Intel legal department to assign copyright.
I'd be interested to know if you have any perspective on this. There may
be
other routes we can take to handle this which we don't normally take
though, but we could make an exemption for a well-known reputable
company
like Intel.
