<span class="quote">> Within a single translation unit, static construction order is well defined,

That's not entirely correct. There are two different kinds of global variables
that are relevant to your example:

Variables instantiated from templates have "unordered initialization"
Other variables[*] have "ordered initialization"

There are no order of initialization guarantees for variables with unordered
initialization. (There can't be: there is no single unique point within the
program where they're instantiated in general.)

Curiously, to my knowledge no-one has reported a problem with this until
recently, and in the past ~month we've had three reports of this. Can you
describe how you encountered this? Maybe there's some common cause of these
three reports.
