I think I disagree : the current global initialisation is done by Init::Init. We can, without breaking the ABI, change its behavior so it does nothing when a particular environment variable is set. We can add another class, let's say InitNG, which does what you suggested for Init. This way people who want to do manual initialisation can do it by setting this variable. Another way I just thought about is not to change Init::Init behavior, but adding both another init class and a free function (probably a static function of the new init class) which undo what Init have done and forces it's destructor not to do anything. The advantage is that the proper behavior of the program does not depend on a user intervention. Christophe
