Short answer: Fabulous.
Long answer: Something like....
static SomeSingleton *instance = NULL;
@implementation SomeSingleton
+ (id) instance {
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
if (instance == NULL){
instance = [[super allocWithZone:NULL] init];
}
});
return instance;
}
+ (id) allocWithZone:(NSZone *)paramZone {
return [[self instance] retain];
}
- (id) copyWithZone:(NSZone *)paramZone {
return self;
}
- (id) autorelease {
return self;
}
- (NSUInteger) retainCount {
return NSUIntegerMax;
}
- (id) retain {
return self;
}
@end
Be sure to read the dispatch/once.h header to understand what's going on. In this case the header comments are more applicable than the docs or man page.
