    Description

      mongoc uses nondeterministic constructors and destructors to automatically init and cleanup mongoc.

      This is contrast to our documented requirement of needing explicit mongoc_init () and mongoc_cleanup ().
      It is also compiler specific, along with being platforms specific.
      It also creates absurd situations when the memory allocator is overloaded.

      A flag was added for this, which defaults to false – but we have no way of configuring this behavior to turn it off, other then explicit via cflags.

      We should add --enable-automatic-globals=[default yes]. Or maybe even default to false since this has been undocumented behavior all along?
