static variable initialization order

Show all headers | View raw

struct Base
{
   static int x;
}

int Base::x = 1;
and in file b.hpp, we have a struct
struct Derived: Base
{
   static int y;
}

int Derived::y = 2;
Is it guaranteed that when we compile these two class file, static
variable x will be initialized before static variable y?
I know that initialization of static variables are not defined, but
since x is in a base class, will it be first initialized?
