Ah, I missed this sentence. So it's OK.

I wonder if Giancarlo will claim that pthread_once is useless for the
very purpose it has been designed for. The rationale in SUSv3 shows
a C example for which static locals would be used in C++, and shows
how pthread_once makes it working in a multithreaded environment.
