Protect it from data races. Just imagine that 2 thread will increase your counter in the same time. One will rewrite result of other and counter will store wrong value. You can use std::mutex as simple case.

New standard guarantees that static variable is initialized once in multy thread environment. There was data race at static variable initialization with old compilers. All other things work in a same order. Unfortunately, your code provides multiple data races in multy thread case. It means that you can't use your singleton with many threads.
