Question

This word was added as a lambda specifier in C++23, joining “mutable”, “constexpr” (“const EX-per”), and “consteval” (“const EE-val”). Scott Myers’ singleton is thread-safe because as of C++11, initialization of objects described by this word is guaranteed (-5[1])to be thread-safe. (-5[1])Objects described by this word (-5[1])in different translation units are initialized in an unspecified order, leading to an issue called the “[this word] Initialization Order Fiasco”. Defining an item in an anonymous namespace is equivalent to using this keyword instead. Like how the “extern” keyword specifies external linkage, this keyword specifies (*) internal linkage. In C++, objects declared at global scope have a storage duration of this name, meaning they exist for the lifetime of the program. For 10 points, give this word that describes class methods that can be called without creating an instance (10[1])of that class. ■END■ (10[2])
