## Overview

Creating a thread-safe singleton in C++ requires handling the potential race conditions that can occur when multiple threads attempt to access the singleton instance concurrently. One common approach is to use the double-checked locking pattern. 

This example uses the mutex functions from the mutex library.

Please note that in modern C++, you can use C++11's `std::call_once` with a `std::once_flag` instead of manually managing a mutex. This is generally considered a safer and more convenient option. However, the above example demonstrates the basic concept of thread safety in a singleton.
