Singletons make it hard to test your code, and in my job I'd reject this at review for encouraging the development of untestable features. That said, I'll continue reviewing despite that. No need for ...

C++ logging library

Making functions in header files static means that each translation unit gets its own separate definition. This usually isn't what we want. Standard practice is to declare the function in the header, ...
