Default Static variables in functions are safe?

Is it safe to work with static variables in functions? For example, if I use this variable in the OnParamChange function
Code:
void VSTCLASS::OnParamChange(int id) {
	IMutexLock lock(this);
	static float last_val;
....
If the user loads multiple instances of my plugin on the same Host, is there a risk that the variable will become global for all these instances? Since I use the same name for the class and the same variable name?

no, it will be global for all instances running in the same process.

Don't do that unless in specialist circumstances, and then be very careful
