我的方法很简单:

static id instanceOfXXX = nil;

+ (id) sharedXXX
{
    static volatile BOOL initialized = NO;

    if (!initialized)
    {
        @synchronized([XXX class])
        {
            if (!initialized)
            {
                instanceOfXXX = [[XXX alloc] init];
                initialized = YES;
            }
        }
    }

    return instanceOfXXX;
}

如果单例已经初始化，LOCK块将不会被输入。第二次检查if(!initialized)是为了确保当前线程获得LOCK时它还没有初始化。

公认的答案，虽然它编译，是不正确的。

+ (MySingleton*)sharedInstance
{
    @synchronized(self)  <-------- self does not exist at class scope
    {
        if (sharedInstance == nil)
            sharedInstance = [[MySingleton alloc] init];
    }
    return sharedInstance;
}

根据苹果文档:

．.． 您可以采用类似的方法来同步相关类的类方法，使用class对象而不是self。

即使使用self工作，它不应该，这看起来像一个复制和粘贴错误对我来说。 类工厂方法的正确实现应该是:

+ (MySingleton*)getInstance
{
    @synchronized([MySingleton class]) 
    {
        if (sharedInstance == nil)
            sharedInstance = [[MySingleton alloc] init];
    }
    return sharedInstance;
}

我知道有很多关于这个“问题”的评论，但是我没有看到很多人建议使用宏来定义单例对象。这是一个非常常见的模式，一个宏极大地简化了单例。

下面是我根据我见过的几个Objc实现编写的宏。

Singeton。h

/**
 @abstract  Helps define the interface of a singleton.
 @param  TYPE  The type of this singleton.
 @param  NAME  The name of the singleton accessor.  Must match the name used in the implementation.
 @discussion
 Typcially the NAME is something like 'sharedThing' where 'Thing' is the prefix-removed type name of the class.
 */
#define SingletonInterface(TYPE, NAME) \
+ (TYPE *)NAME;


/**
 @abstract  Helps define the implementation of a singleton.
 @param  TYPE  The type of this singleton.
 @param  NAME  The name of the singleton accessor.  Must match the name used in the interface.
 @discussion
 Typcially the NAME is something like 'sharedThing' where 'Thing' is the prefix-removed type name of the class.
 */
#define SingletonImplementation(TYPE, NAME) \
static TYPE *__ ## NAME; \
\
\
+ (void)initialize \
{ \
    static BOOL initialized = NO; \
    if(!initialized) \
    { \
        initialized = YES; \
        __ ## NAME = [[TYPE alloc] init]; \
    } \
} \
\
\
+ (TYPE *)NAME \
{ \
    return __ ## NAME; \
}

使用示例:

我的经理

@interface MyManager

SingletonInterface(MyManager, sharedManager);

// ...

@end

我的经理

@implementation MyManager

- (id)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code here.
    }

    return self;
}

SingletonImplementation(MyManager, sharedManager);

// ...

@end

为什么界面宏几乎是空的?头文件和代码文件之间的代码一致性;可维护性，以防您想添加更多的自动方法或更改它。

我使用initialize方法创建单例，就像这里(在撰写本文时)最流行的答案中使用的那样。

扩展一下@robbie-hanson的例子…

static MySingleton* sharedSingleton = nil;

+ (void)initialize {
    static BOOL initialized = NO;
    if (!initialized) {
        initialized = YES;
        sharedSingleton = [[self alloc] init];
    }
}

- (id)init {
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        // Member initialization here.
    }
    return self;
}

@interface MySingleton : NSObject
{
}

+ (MySingleton *)sharedSingleton;
@end

@implementation MySingleton

+ (MySingleton *)sharedSingleton
{
  static MySingleton *sharedSingleton;

  @synchronized(self)
  {
    if (!sharedSingleton)
      sharedSingleton = [[MySingleton alloc] init];

    return sharedSingleton;
  }
}

@end

static MyClass *sharedInst = nil;

+ (id)sharedInstance
{
    @synchronize( self ) {
        if ( sharedInst == nil ) {
            /* sharedInst set up in init */
            [[self alloc] init];
        }
    }
    return sharedInst;
}

- (id)init
{
    if ( sharedInst != nil ) {
        [NSException raise:NSInternalInconsistencyException
            format:@"[%@ %@] cannot be called; use +[%@ %@] instead"],
            NSStringFromClass([self class]), NSStringFromSelector(_cmd), 
            NSStringFromClass([self class]),
            NSStringFromSelector(@selector(sharedInstance)"];
    } else if ( self = [super init] ) {
        sharedInst = self;
        /* Whatever class specific here */
    }
    return sharedInst;
}

/* These probably do nothing in
   a GC app.  Keeps singleton
   as an actual singleton in a
   non CG app
*/
- (NSUInteger)retainCount
{
    return NSUIntegerMax;
}

- (oneway void)release
{
}

- (id)retain
{
    return sharedInst;
}

- (id)autorelease
{
    return sharedInst;
}
