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 to be thread-safe. Objects described by this word in different translation units are initialized in an unspecified order, (15[1])leading to an issue called the “[this word] Initialization Order Fiasco”. (-5[1])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 (10[1])they exist for the lifetime of the program. For 10 points, give this word (10[1])that describes class methods that can be called without creating (10[1])an instance of that class. ■END■ (10[1])
