just::thread Complete C++ Standard Thread Library by Just Software Solutions

The std::once_flag default constructor creates a new std::once_flag instance in a state which indicates that the associated function has not been called.

constexpr once_flag();

just::thread Specific

With Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, initialization for local static objects with constructors is always dynamic initialization, and initialization of global objects with constructors is only static initialization if the optimization level is high enough.

Therefore, the macro _JSS_STATIC_ONCE_FLAG is provided in order to guarantee static initialization.

// only static initialization at /O1 or higher
std::once_flag global; 
// guaranteed static initialization
_JSS_STATIC_ONCE_FLAG(global2); 

void foo()
{
    // should be static initialization, 
    // but isn't guaranteed
    static std::once_flag local; 
    // guaranteed static initialization
    _JSS_STATIC_ONCE_FLAG(local2); 
}

If a namespace scope instance is referenced from another translation unit, use the _JSS_EXTERN_ONCE_FLAG macro:

_JSS_EXTERN_ONCE_FLAG(global2);

void bar()
{
    std::call_once(global2,some_function);
}
