Andrea Capra reported a problem with manalyzer module initialization order.

Original manalyzer design relies on the fact than module static constructors run in the same order as they 
appear on the linker command line. This has been true for a very long time, but now we have evidence that on 
Rocky Linux (unknown gcc version), this is no longer true.

The c++ standard does not define any specific order for static constructor in different source files. 
(unlike C, C++ tends to treat the linker as something magical and ask the linker to do magical things).

The tmfe c++ modular frontend was designed after manalyzer and one design change is to explicitly construct 
all objects from main(). (at the acceptable cost of extra boiler plate code).

One solution is to use GCC attribute "init_priority (priority)", see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/211237/static-variables-initialisation-order
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/C_002b_002b-Attributes.html

To use this, manalyzer module registration should be modified to read:

static TARegister tar __attribute__((init_priority(200))) (new ExampleCxxFactory);

A less magical solution is to change manalyzer design similar to tmfe where modules are constructed and 
registered explicitely in the order specified by source code.

K.O.

P.S. I now ran out of time to test this and commit it to the documentation. It also need to be tested with 
LLVM C++ compilers.
