 Decades are multiples of a decade, i.e. >= 20 years. But Meyer's
singleton is possible since C++11, where static local initializations
are thread-safe, that's 14 years ago.
 

Prior to C++11, it was a valid method for the initialization problem for single threaded C++ code, which really was all that had C++ standard defined behavior.
I seem to remember the technique being used in pre-standard C++ in the library to get around the initialization order problem.
