It's in atlsync.inl for VC7.1. I just searched for
"CCriticalSection::CCriticalSection" to find it, BTW.

Yup.

You seem to have big problems with C++ templates' syntax. Is there anything
you'd like us to explain about them, which makes you particularly
uncomfortable with them?

Please take a look at the code again: it's a function having a local static
variable. This way, the variable gets constructed the first time the
function is entered. This is different with a static member of a
*structure*, which gets constructed at program's startup.
