I believe the following program should print

Initialize
Hello, world
Clean up

Instead it prints

Hello, world
Clean up

If the definition of y is placed inside main(), then the program prints

Initialize
Hello, world
Clean up

#include <stream.h>

class x
{
public:
  x();
  ~x();
};

x::x()
{
  cout << "Initialize" << "\n";
}

x::~x()
{
  cout << "Clean up" << "\n";
}

x y;

main()
{
  cout << "Hello, world\n";
}
