Before C++11 one had to just add their own synchronization for thread safety (assuming multi-threaded access was needed, which was not so often in the past).
C++11 just made coding of a Meyer's singleton easier, that's all.

That's not that easy since it is undefined when a static local variable
is initialized before C++11. You'd have to wrap it in a union and leave
only member which is the object uninitialized. That's possible, but
that's not Meyer's singleton.
