Hi,

When using __gshared for variables at module level, it is my understanding that they should be initialized in the shared static this constructor. My question is: When having __gshared variables inside classes, where should I initialize these? Do classes have a shared static this constructor?

Yes. You can also use a module constructor, since all class members are be visible to the module.

I don't think there's much difference between a module constructor and a static class constructor. I think that second is just scoped in the class.
