+/*
+ * Static instance of _on_exit_args struct.
+ *
+ * When _REENT_SMALL is used, _atexit struct only contains a pointer to
+ * _on_exit_args struct, so this was always allocated with malloc() - even for
+ * the first 32 calls of atexit()-like functions, which are guaranteed to
+ * succeed, but could fail because of "out of memory" error. This is even worse
+ * when _ATEXIT_DYNAMIC_ALLOC is _NOT_ defined, in which case malloc() is not
+ * used by internals of atexit()-like functions. In such configuration all calls
+ * to the functions that need _on_exit_args struct (on_exit() and
+ * __cxa_atexit()) would fail.
+ *
+ * Thats why a static instance of _on_exit_args struct is provided for
+ * _REENT_SMALL configuration. This way the first 32 calls to atexit()-like
+ * functions don't need malloc() and will always succeed.
+ *
+ * Because this struct is not needed for "normal" atexit(), it is used as a weak
+ * reference in __register_exitproc(), but any use of on_exit() or
+ * __cxa_atexit() will force it to be linked.
