The problem is that the default constructor may be invoked after the first call to Register::global, overwriting _global and resetting it to empty. The first subsequent call to global() would now reinitialize it.

You can avoid this by making _global a local static:

static RegisterP global() { static RegisterP _global( new Register ); return _global; }

Yes! You're right :) I just tried with a debugger and is as you say. Thanks! -- ~Ale
