static initialization order fiasco

by

The initialization steps are given in 3.6.2 “Initialization of non-local objects” of the C++ standard:

Step 1: x and y are zero-initialized before any other initialization takes place.

Step 2: x or y is dynamically initialized – which one is unspecified by the standard. That variable will get the value 1 since the other variable will have been zero-initialized.

Step 3: the other variable will be dynamically initialized, getting the value 2.
