static Frist* g_frist = Frist();

    That's got to work surely? I'll only get one in my program?

    Obviously, the way to create singletons is to use pthread_once.

    Most (but not all) uses of the singleton pattern are bad programming. It is almost always better to manage the lifecycle of a single instance through more conventional methods- like just creating one instance of it.

    where, or where,

    Whether typo or eggcorn, that's really poetic! The more conventional phrase would be "where oh where".

    What that will do is create a separate Frist instance for each compilation unit (.cpp file), not visible from other compilation units. To create a true program-wide singleton, you need to declare it as extern in the .h file, and have exactly one .cpp file defining the instance.
