Created attachment 117641 [details] backtrace of deadlock during startup on Windows if the compiler does not support C++11 thread safe statics, then it's possible to deadlock during global variable initialization. the !HAVE_THREADSAFE_STATICS fall-back implementation of rtl::Static uses one mutex for all global variables so if one global's initialization creates a different global too it can deadlock. affected (on current master) compilers are MSVC 2013 and clang configured to build for Mac OS X 10.8.

still a problem with MSVC 2013, we need to switch to MSVC 2015 to fix it
So with MSVC 2015 used now, it should be ok for Windows. Only have to wait for baseline for MacOS to be 10.9 instead of 10.8.
If I understand correctly, the Macs that can't run 10.9 are from before 2008. Should we really be kept hostage by people with ten year old machines who demand to be able to run current software?
is this issue solved now with HAVE_THREADSAFE_STATICS always true for all toolchains or does it need additional work?
yeah should be fixed on master now
