This part seems accidentally included.

I think LazyNeverDestroyed is better.

Doesn't look like that uses NeverDestroyed<>.

LazyNeverDestroyed has the same issue.

To clarify: it has the same race as NeverDestroyed.  So, using that would not fix the bug.

Wait, do you mean using LazyNeverDestroyed instead of pointing to it?  Took me a while to figure that out.

Yeah, I mean using LazyNeverDestroyed<> instead of pointer (and calling construct() in call_once). :)

RandomDevice one is OSRandomSource.cpp's NeverDestroyed<RandomDevice>. I think it has similar problem.
