[ECOS] Calling cyg_thread_create() from static constructors

[uwe dot kindler at cetoni dot de]

Hello,

is it allowed in eCos to call cyg_thread_create() and cyg_thread_resume() from static constructors?

I have the following problem. My C++ application contains a static object. This object creates a thread with cyg_thread_create() and then calls cyg_thread_resume() in its constructor. 

I single stepped the function cyg_hal_invoke_constructors(). As soon as this object is created (it is the last one that is constructed cyg_hal_invoke_constructors()) it is not possible to view the list of threads from insight or GDB any longer. If I select View, Thread List in insight, I get an empty thread list or an error message that it was not possible to get thread list. If I remove this object from my application, then this problem does not occur.

Is there any solution for this problem or should I simply not call these two function from a static constructor?.

Thank you for your help.
