I use C++ in MS Visual Studio C++ 2013 sp5. As you know, google test(gtest) initialize test codes as static variables. When I put these gtest codes (.cpp) in main project, there is no problem. But, when I move these gtest codes (.cpp) to library project which main project depends, gtest don't work. I can't put breakpoint as if there is no code. (BreakPoint point looks like white circle not red circle). I guess compiler optimizer omit these static variables code in cpp because these variables are references nowhere. But, it's constructor do something so I don't understand why compiler remove or doesn't make code for these static variables.
How to prevent these situation? Is there any options for that? Or any knowhow?
Turn 'Link Library Dependencies' and 'Use Library Dependency Inputs' into Yes then compiler make codes. It works. C++ static variable in .lib does not initialize force visual studio to link all symbols in a lib file
