FIX: Global Constants Are Initialized in Reverse Order (313847)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Run <drive:><path>\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\bin\vsvars32.bat.
2. Create a file named Main.cpp, and then add the following code:

   #include "main.h" 
   #include "stdio.h"
   #define  VC7BUG 
   int main() 
   {  
   // The constants are initialized in the reverse order of how they are used.
   #ifdef   VC7BUG         // 
       float one = Pie1;   // Pie1 = 3.14 -initialized second since used first.
       float two = Pie2;   // Pie2 = 0    -initialized first since used second. 
   #else 
       float two = Pie2;   // Pie2 = 6.28 -initialized second since used first.
       float one = Pie1;   // Pie1 = 3.14 -initialized first since used second. 
   #endif
       if ((int)(one+two) < 9){
   	 printf("the values are incorrect");
   	 return 0;
       }else{
            printf("the values are correct");
            return 1;
       }
   }
   					

3. Create a file named T.cpp, and then add the following code:

   #include "main.h"
   					

4. Create a file named Main.h, and then add the following code:

   #include <stdio.h>
   const float Pie3  = 3.14f; 
   const float Pie1 = Pie3*1;   // "Pie1" depends on "Pie" 
   const float Pie2 = Pie1*2;   // "Pie2" depends on "Pie1" 
   					

5. Run the following code from a command prompt:

   cl  /Ycmain.h /Og /c t.cpp
   
   cl /Yumain.h /Og main.cpp
   
   main.exe
