Yes, I know WebKit does not use global initializers. However, there are a few places where global initializers are used to count memory leaks. This happens only in Debug build.


For example, in JavaScriptCore/runtime/Structure.cpp

static Mutex& ignoreSetMutex = *(new Mutex);

static HashSet<Structure*>& ignoreSet = *(new HashSet<Structure*>);

static HashSet<Structure*>& liveStructureSet = *(new HashSet<Structure*>);

The above three lines call new in global initializers.
