After reading a lot of the questions regarding initialization of static variables I am still not sure how this applies to const variables at namespace level.

I have kind of the following code in a header file config.h generated by the build script:

static const std::string path1 = "/xyz/abc";
static const std::string path2 = "/etc";

According to what I have read the static keyword is not necessary, even deprecated here.

My Question: Is the code above prone to the static initialization fiasco?

If I have the following in a header file myclass.h:

class MyClass
{
public:
    MyClass(const std::string& str) : m_str(str) {}
    std::string Get() const { return m_str; }

private:
    std::string m_str;
}

const MyClass myclass1("test");

Will this pose any problems with static initialization?

If I understood right, due to const variables having internal linkage there should be no problem in both cases?

Edit: (due to dribeas answer)

Maybe I should mention that I am interested in use cases like:

In main.cpp:

#include <config.h>
#include <myclass.h>

std::string anotherString(path1 + myclass1.Get());

int main()
{
    ...
}

Another question regarding this use case: Will the compiler optimize away path2 in this case?

c++ initialization linkage
