Description

Detector to set off alarm when (re)using deceased objects.

When implementing services based on static fields or objects, an invocation after static shutdown can not be precluded – be it by re-entrance, be through indirect reference to some dependency within a static function residing in another translation unit. Since typically the values in static storage are not overwritten after invoking the destructor, we may plant an automatic "zombie detector" to give a clear indication of such a policy violation (Lumiera forbids to use dependencies from dtors).
