I was told to use the singleton pattern instead of having global objects, which have the “static” storage duration, to avoid the static initialization order fiasco. But now that I have C++20 module...

Once I was reading an awesome C++ FAQ (It is really good!!) and read the topic about how to prevent the static initialization order "fiasco". So the author advises to wrap the static variables into...

We've run into some problems with the static initialization order fiasco, and I'm looking for ways to comb through a whole lot of code to find possible occurrences. Any suggestions on how to do thi...

I'm trying to understand the sequencing rules for initialization and destruction of namespace-scope and block-scope objects with static storage duration and thread-local storage duration in the con...

According to C++11 specification: The results of including <iostream> in a translation unit shall be as if <iostream> defined an instance of ios_base::Init with static storage durat...

May this global function suffer from static initialization fiasco? template <typename TFn> void ParallelFor(int iIni,int iFin,TFn Fn) { static const unsigned int NThread= std::thread::hard...

When I use static variables in C++, I often end up wanting to initialize one variable passing another to its constructor. In other words, I want to create static instances that depend on each other...

I had a discussion this morning with a colleague about static variable initialization order. He mentioned the Nifty/Schwarz counter and I'm (sort of) puzzled. I understand how it works, but I'm not...

In his "Thinking in C++" (Chapter 10) Eckel describes a technique that was pioneered by Jerry Schwarz to solve the fiasco. He says that if we want to initialize x to 100 and y to 200 and share the...

A recent question here had the following code (well, similar to this) to implement a singleton without synchronisation. public class Singleton { private Singleton() {} private static class Singl...

I have a program split up into two source files: example.cpp #include <iostream> class A { public: A(int x) { ::std::cout << "In A(" << x << ")\n"; } }; static A fir...

Lets say that we have two compilation units as follows: // a.cpp extern int value2; int value1 = value2 + 10; // b.cpp extern int value1; int value2 = value1 + 10; When I tried it on VC2010, it...

There are a few good questions and answers here around the "static initialization order fiasco", but I seem to have hit against yet another expression of it, specially ugly because it does not cras...

I was reading about SIOF from a book and it gave an example : //file1.cpp extern int y; int x=y+1; //file2.cpp extern int x; int y=x+1; Now My question is : In above code, will following thin...

I have next situation: I need to create widget in standalone static library, which then will be linked with final application (visual c++ 9.0, qt 4.5). This static widget library contains some reso...
