anchor test fails silently when using lazy_static

[ssadler]

I wanted to have a top level variable with a non const init in my program, I introduced lazy_static crate, and tests started to fail with the error "program is not deployed". There was also no indication of the problem in .anchor/test-ledger/validator.log.

I tracked it down by starting the validator separately with solana-test-validator and running anchor deploy. Then I saw the same error as in this issue (longer than 16 bytes): https://solana.stackexchange.com/questions/13628/error-elf-error-elf-error-failed-to-parse-elf-file-section-or-symbol-name.

The behavior is coming from solana-test-validator since anchor test uses that to deploy your program (include the program in genesis rather than "deploy" to be exact).

I also wonder why this is not a compile error, given it's clearly a restricted functionality.

In any case, we might be able to fix it from our side by checking the ELF, but it would be better if this issue gets fixed upstream (either via build tools or solana-test-validator).
