A dll is just code which can be called from any language as long as the interface rules are followed by compilers, linkers and coders. Anyway, the problem illustrated by the test case occurs when a dll linked with -lstdc++ is dynamically linked (via dlopen()) by a program which has not previously initialized the standard library io functions. Running the testcase in gdb or with debugging print statements added to cygwin1.dll shows this clearly. Also, the problem persists if ct.c is changed to ct.cc and g++ is used throughout in the build. I have built debug versions of both cygwin1.dll and libstdc++. I hope to have some time this weekend to finally look into this problem more deeply.
