Description
The use of global static intilaizers like the StaticInit struct in:
qpid\cpp\src\qpid\client\windows\TCPConnector.cpp
qpid\cpp\src\qpid\client\windows\SslConnector.cpp
won't work at runtime in a static compile/link of qpidc. The transport factory registrations won't happen since the linker will strip out these unreferenced symbols. Not a problem in the DLL model. There are few options for addressing this in the linker command line (e.g., /INCLUDE:<mangled name of symbol>), in the devenv ("Link Library Dependencies", "Use Library Dependency Inputs"), or writing function wrappers to force load - none of which seem very useful.
There may be more instances of this pattern in the code elsewhere.
