Let me leave this one to Daniela and defeat a more general claim, that
C++ is not just C:

The `canonical' (portable; standard-compatible) way to get something
done either before or after main() is called, when main() has no
awareness of the need to do it, is:

a) in C++: creation of a static object, whose ctr/dtr contain the code
to be executed before/after main;

b) in C: <your answer here>
