// The following helper classes are placeholders for a generic "singleton"
|
|
// class. The classes below support usage of singletons, including use in
|
|
// program startup/shutdown code, AS LONG AS there is only one thread
|
|
// running before main() begins, and only one thread running after main()
|
|
// exits.
|
|
//
|
|
// This class is also limited in that it can only provide singleton usage for
|
|
// classes with default constructors.
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// The design of this class is somewhat twisted, but can be followed by the
|
|
// calling inheritance. Let us assume that there is some user code that
|
|
// calls "singleton_default<T>::instance()". The following (convoluted)
|
|
// sequence ensures that the same function will be called before main():
|
|
// instance() contains a call to create_object.do_nothing()
|
|
// Thus, object_creator is implicitly instantiated, and create_object
|
|
// must exist.
|
|
// Since create_object is a static member, its constructor must be
|
|
// called before main().
|
|
// The constructor contains a call to instance(), thus ensuring that
|
|
// instance() will be called before main().
|
|
// The first time instance() is called (i.e., before main()) is the
|
|
// latest point in program execution where the object of type T
|
|
// can be created.
|
|
// Thus, any call to instance() will auto-magically result in a call to
|
|
// instance() before main(), unless already present.
|
|
// Furthermore, since the instance() function contains the object, instead
|
|
// of the singleton_default class containing a static instance of the
|
|
// object, that object is guaranteed to be constructed (at the latest) in
|
|
// the first call to instance(). This permits calls to instance() from
|
|
// static code, even if that code is called before the file-scope objects
|
|
// in this file have been initialized.
