calling base class function only once

Hi,

Consider the following class hierarchy:

A
B C D

a has a fcuntion func() which needs to be called only once during
application lifetime.

B b;
b.func();
.......

later

C c;
c.func(); //should nt get called or executed.

How can this be done?

One way is to use a mutex and initialize the first time func is called.

Is there any other way?Some design pattern?

Regards,
Furqan

Do it in the Z constructor and make Z a singleton.
