Is there any achieve this or something similar when using intrusive::list as a global resource?

If you can use C++11 lambda expressions, you can do something like this: static const ContainerType GLOBAL_REGISTRY = []() -> ContainerType // lambda that return a ContainerType { ContainerType my_container; // fill the container however you want, done only once return my_container; }(); // don't forget the () to execute the lambda on initialization It's better than a free function because you are sure it cannot be called by any other code. Hope it helps. Joel Lamotte
