Small help on trivial issue

[Lei YU]

I did not check the code details, but from the description, it is likely due to
the global variable's initialization order in a shared library.

Basically, you need to specify `__attribute__((init_priority(101)))` for your
global variables.

Please check below commit for details and how to manually specify the init
order for such variables.

I am initializing this object in register function and accessing this in different functions defined in same shared library. While accessing in different function, it doesn’t hold initialized data. This is failing in my storagecommands.cpp for IPMI.

Looks like there are some header included in existing file is messing it up but I have no clue yet. This only happens with json object.
