Take care if you use multithreaded program. You should protect your static call. – Axel Borja Jan 31 '14 at 15:17

1@Ashwin actually, this is guaranteed to be thread-safe – Luchian Grigore Jan 31 '14 at 15:20

I don't understand why you are returning a pointer: if it cannot be null, it should be a **reference**. – Matthieu M. Jan 31 '14 at 18:43

instance will be located in static storage (or global as you call it).
