memory allocation for static singleton class object [duplicate]

Question

For below singleton class where would be the memory taken from (Stack or Global memroy)

class Singleton
{
    public:

        static Singleton* get()
        {
            static Singleton instance;
            return &instance;
        }
};

Take care if you use multithreaded program. You should protect your static call. — AXEL BORJA

I don't understand why you are returning a pointer: if it cannot be null, it should be a reference. — Matthieu M.

instance will be located in static storage (or global as you call it).
