Description

Order of initialization problems become particularly difficult to handle in concurrent code. It is usually best to avoid global (namespace scope) objects altogether.

What does order of initialisation of globals have to do with multithreaded code? (I hope nobody is creating global threads ...)

BTW, singletons with lazy initialisation were a sollution to the initialisation order issue, isn't it?
