I guess the only way to safely initialize a static local variable is through some call_once concept implementation. The problem in my case is that I'd like the library to be as light as possible and as fast as possible, so I can't make use of Boost.Thread for now.
I believe that volatile works just as well here as it does for m_StatesInfo. template<class Dispatcher> struct static_event_dispatcher { static volatile bool initialized; //Dispatcher must have a trivial default constructor static Dispatcher dispatcher; static Dispatcher& value() { if(!initialized) { const_cast<volatile Dispatcher&>(dispatcher).init(); initialized = true; } return(dispatcher); } }; template<class Dispatcher> static volatile bool static_event_dispatcher<Dispatcher>::initialized = 0; template<class Dispatcher> static Dispatcher static_event_dispatcher<Dispatcher>::dispatcher; In Christ, Steven Watanabe
