I've run into the issue calling functions with side effects. Here is a snippet of my code with the workaround:


        /* Need to register types with the glib type system for dynamic
         * construction with gtkbuilder. Need to figure out a better way
         * to ensure the calls to typeof() are not optimized out.
         */

        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(AboutDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(AddSimulationDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(ArchiveSchematicsDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(ExportBOMDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(ExportNetlistDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(NewDesignDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(NewProjectDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(RenumberRefdesDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(ResetRefdesDialog).name());
        stdout.printf("Registering %s\n", typeof(BackannotateRefdesDialog).name());
