This is *exactly* what static destructors do.

"A static destructor gets called on program termination"

Actually, that description is inaccurate for non-shared static dtors,  
someone should fix that.

If you want a static dtor that runs on every thread shutdown, use a normal  
static dtor.  If you want one that runs on the entire application  
shutdown, use a shared static dtor.
