This is by design and it avoids a subltle initialization problem ina multithreaded environment with thread local storage on early Windows platforms, like Windows XP and Windows 2003.</p> <p>For C++11 and above, a standard double-checked locking pattern with thread fences are used. The locks and fences are standard and do not hinder portability.</p> <p>Microsoft's C++11 implementation provides the necessary primitive support on Windows Vista and above when using Visual Studio 2015 (<code>cl.exe</code> version 19.00). If C++11 is desired, you should set <code>WINVER</code> or <code>_WIN32_WINNT</code> to 0x600 (or above), and compile with Visual Studio 2015. </p><dl class="section see"><dt>See also</dt><dd><a href="http://preshing.com/20130930/double-checked-locking-is-fixed-in-cpp11/">Double-Checked Locking is Fixed In C++11</a>, <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2660.htm">Dynamic Initialization and Destruction with Concurrency</a> and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6yh4a9k1.aspx">Thread Local Storage (TLS)</a> on MSDN. </dd></dl> <dl class="section since"><dt>Since</dt><dd>Crypto++ 5.2 </dd></dl> <p class="definition">Definition at line <a class="el" href="misc_8h_source.html#l00291">291</a> of file <a class="el" href="misc_8h_source.html">misc.h</a>.</p> </div><h2 class="groupheader">Member Function Documentation</h2> <a id="a2dfafdfafaaf20ca4cfc550125f6332d"></a> <h2 class="memtitle"><span class="permalink"><a href="#a2dfafdfafaaf20ca4cfc550125f6332d">◆ </a></span>Ref()</h2> <div class="memitem"> <div class="memproto"> <div class="memtemplate"> template<class T , class F , int instance> </div> <table class="memname"> <tr> <td class="memname">const T & <a class="el" href="class_singleton.html">Singleton</a>< T, F, instance >::Ref </td> <td>(</td> <td class="paramtype"> </td> <td class="paramname"><em>...</em></td><td>)</td> <td> const</td> </tr> </table> </div><div class="memdoc"> <p>Return a reference to the inner <a class="el" href="class_singleton.html" title="Restricts the instantiation of a class to one static object without locks.
