Re: [boost] [thread] Proposal for thread safe initialization of local static and global objects

What's wrong with simple:

template <typename T> struct wrapper { static T data; };

template <typename T> T wrapper<T>::data;

template<C> void foo(C arg) { bar<C>& abar = wrapper<bar<C> >::data; }

... which will trigger static (thread-safe) initialization.

Yes, but you only get one global instance for each type T, which defeats the point of making it a function-local static. Anthony -- Anthony Williams Software Developer Just Software Solutions Ltd http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk
