You are tasked with implementing the classic Thread-Safe Double-Checked Locking (DCL) Singleton pattern in modern C++. This task is non-trivial and requires specialized concurrency knowledge to prevent memory reordering issues.

Write a complete, runnable C++ program named `dcl_singleton.cpp` that defines a class `Singleton` with a private constructor and a static `getInstance()` method.

Your solution MUST adhere to the following strict constraints:
1. The Singleton instance pointer (`static Singleton*`) must be wrapped in `std::atomic` to correctly manage memory visibility across threads.
2. The `getInstance()` method must use `std::memory_order_acquire` when reading the instance pointer in the outer check.
3. The instance creation and write-back must use `std::memory_order_release` when writing to the atomic pointer.
4. A standard `std::mutex` must be used only to protect the critical section (the actual instantiation).
5. The `main` function must demonstrate safe, concurrent access by launching at least three threads, each calling `Singleton::getInstance()`, and printing the address of the returned instance to prove all threads received the same object.
