We need to see the context, so post some code like Pipo DeClown suggests. Also, we need to know how it "doesn''t work," so (assuming that compiler/linker errors are the problem) cite the relevant error messages.

If it is inside a function, then it only get initialized once in the first call, and subsequent call to the function doesn''t get initialized.
