b) In the case I described and tested with #111 (and now even with #128) There are 2 shared libraries with their own instances of the singletons (this can be checked by debugging the ctor/dtor of them). The lifetime mismatch happens due to "some linux mechanism" destroying same types from different libraries at the same time invalidating the expectation of each library. Example (actually witnessed by printf-debugging) Using static libs in shared libs is a recipe for disaster isn't it?

I was about to agree with you, but there is one very important use case - that of the application pluggin.  In that situation one would expect that as long as everything is built with -fvisibility-hidden so that each shared library is entirely self contained, then everything should really be fine.
