Thread-Safe Initialization - Static Variables with Block Scope
Explore thread-safe initialization of static variables within block scope in C++. Understand how C++11 guarantees safe creation in multithreaded environments and how this enables the elegant Meyers Singleton implementation. Learn the importance of compiler support for thread safety in concurrent applications.

Static variables with block scope will be created exactly once and lazily (i.e. created just at the moment of the usage). This characteristic is the basis of the so-called Meyers Singleton, named after Scott Meyers. This is by far the most elegant implementation of ...
