In a multithreaded app this might work on some platforms, on others it
doesn't:
Quote from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s1sb61xd.aspx:
"Assigning to a static local variable is not thread safe and is not
recommended as a programming practice."
Although this isn't very concise wording (IIRC, the standard says that
it should work for literals assigned to PODs) it seems clear that it
won't work for non-PODs...
