I don't understand your question - if the declaration of oCServer is
file global in Server.cpp, it _is_ a static object.

The reason for using a static object (as you did) is that the compiler /
runtime system makes sure the object is created (and its constructor
called) at init time. This makes sure myHookFunction is registered
before iocInit() runs.
