what happens before main()?

Hi,

I have a big library written in C++, in this lib there are several static-things that get initialised at the start of the Programm, even before the main() function is called.

So far so good, but the problem is - the program takes some time to start, and when I did some time-trackings to see where the time goes, I found out it takes already up to 3 seconds until my main() function is called.

But, since there are about 300-400 Files it would take forever to find the "bad" statics.. so, is there any way in Xcode to step trough the initialisation process? Like as if I'd put a breakpoint in the main() function and step forward.. but in the main method it's already to late :(
