[erlang-questions] atomicity of spawn with global process registry?

[Vans S]

What is the order of events/guarantees that happen with gen_server start + global name register?

Does register happen before the init?

If I do a normal spawn then do a register in 2 separate calls, I have a chance to call the register while init is already evaluating, 
which triggers my race condition. As another process is sending a message to this process, and expects init to NOT start evaluating UNTIL the process is registered.
