Static constructor can run after the non-static constructor. Is this a compiler bug?
- by Joe H
The output from the following program is:
Non-Static
Static
Non-Static
Is this a compiler bug? I expected:
Static
Non-Static
Non-Static
because I thought the static constructor was ALWAYS called before the non-static constructor.
I tested this with Visual Studio 2010 using both .net 3.5 and .net 4.0.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace StaticConstructorBug
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var mc = new MyClass();
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
public class MyClass
{
public MyClass()
{
Console.WriteLine("Non-static");
}
static MyClass()
{
Console.WriteLine("Static");
}
public static MyClass aVar = new MyClass();
}
}
