As you can see in REGISTER_SOLVER_CLASS macro definition, in solver_factory.hpp, Caffe creates static global objects for the solvers. They are initialized when the library loads. See this question + answers for the full details and Windows / UNIX differences.

@AndrewGong : Compiling caffe creates a static library (.a on Linux, .lib on Windows) and a dynamic library (.so on Linux, .dll on Windows). I didn't understand your comment, could you please elaborate? – rkellerm Nov 26 '17 at 12:40
