[Solved] Initialization sequence of Units, Linux/Windows

[petevick]

I have a project that I compile in Linux and Windows, this project has several Units, let's call them Unit2 and Unit3. In Linux I know that in the TForm1.FormActivate procedure, Unit2 and 3 have been initialized, which seems reasonable, but they haven't been initialized in Windows at that point, so at what point would these Unit2 and 3 get initialized in Windows ??

Perhaps the following link is able to help you out ?

You can easy find out on your own:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. unit UnitX;
2. interface
3. implementation
4.  
5. initialization
6. // ShowMessage('UnitX Initialized!');
7. // WriteLn('UnitX Initialized');
8.  
9. end.

There is no difference between windows and linux.
And initialization is *before* FormActivate not in FormActivate.
Activation is after newinstance (allocation) and subsequently initinstance (initialization) is called.
Whole units are usually initialized left to right if they actually need to be initialized, that is..

How do you assume that these units haven't been “initialized”?

This is has been doing my head in, I've obviously changed something as I'm not getting the error that originally prompted me to make this topic. So unfortunately I now can't replicate whatever was causing the problem  I'll mark as solved and move on along
