This was done to accommodate Xtensa targets that emit `.ctors.*` sections, which are ordered in descending order. For RISC-V, compilation used `.init_array.*` sections, which are designed to have ascending order. Priority constructors in `.init_array.*` sections were correctly processed in ascending order. However, non-priority `.init_array` section was processed in descending order (as it was done for Xtensa `.ctors`). Starting with ESP-IDF v6.0, the implementation switched to the standard LibC behavior (`__libc_init_array()`), which processes both priority and non-priority constructors in ascending order. To achieve this, a breaking changes were introduced: - Xtensa `.ctors.*` entries converted to `.init_array.*` format (ascending), to be passed to `__libc_init_array()`. - Processing order of non-priority `.init_array` and `.ctors` sections was changed from descending to ascending. This test ensures that the initialization order is correct and consistent between ESP-IDF and Linux targets.
