It is. You have to put the code in your object's constructor, though.

class MyStatic
{
public:
  MyStatic() { init(); }
  void init();
};
K_GLOBAL_STATIC(MyStatic, theStatic)

The destructor (if any) is called upon object destruction (see below).

They are correct. In this part:
+ *     // A post routine is a way to delete the static instance when the
application quits.

I'd add that the installation of the post routine is not mandatory. The
object will be deleted anyways (as long as the platform isn't broken,
which can happen). The qAddPostRoutine is a way to make the object be
deleted inside ~QCoreApplication. Otherwise, it's deleted at program
unload.
