关于Objective-C中单例模式的深入讨论，请看这里:

在Objective-C中使用单例模式

我只是想把这个放在这里，这样我就不会弄丢了。这个的优点是它可以在InterfaceBuilder中使用，这是一个巨大的优势。这是我问的另一个问题:

static Server *instance;

+ (Server *)instance { return instance; }

+ (id)hiddenAlloc
{
    return [super alloc];
}

+ (id)alloc
{
    return [[self instance] retain];
}


+ (void)initialize
{
    static BOOL initialized = NO;
    if(!initialized)
    {
        initialized = YES;
        instance = [[Server hiddenAlloc] init];
    }
}

- (id) init
{
    if (instance)
        return self;
    self = [super init];
    if (self != nil) {
        // whatever
    }
    return self;
}

由于Kendall发布了一个线程安全的单例，试图避免锁定成本，我想我也会抛出一个:

#import <libkern/OSAtomic.h>

static void * volatile sharedInstance = nil;                                                

+ (className *) sharedInstance {                                                                    
  while (!sharedInstance) {                                                                          
    className *temp = [[self alloc] init];                                                                 
    if(!OSAtomicCompareAndSwapPtrBarrier(0x0, temp, &sharedInstance)) {
      [temp release];                                                                                   
    }                                                                                                    
  }                                                                                                        
  return sharedInstance;                                                                        
}

好吧，让我来解释一下这是怎么回事:

Fast case: In normal execution sharedInstance has already been set, so the while loop is never executed and the function returns after simply testing for the variable's existence; Slow case: If sharedInstance doesn't exist, then an instance is allocated and copied into it using a Compare And Swap ('CAS'); Contended case: If two threads both attempt to call sharedInstance at the same time AND sharedInstance doesn't exist at the same time then they will both initialize new instances of the singleton and attempt to CAS it into position. Whichever one wins the CAS returns immediately, whichever one loses releases the instance it just allocated and returns the (now set) sharedInstance. The single OSAtomicCompareAndSwapPtrBarrier acts as both a write barrier for the setting thread and a read barrier from the testing thread.

这是我放在一起的一个宏:

http://github.com/cjhanson/Objective-C-Optimized-Singleton

它基于马特·加拉格尔的作品 但是将实现改为使用谷歌的Dave MacLachlan所描述的方法swizzling。

我欢迎评论/贡献。

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。

编辑:这个实现在ARC中过时了。请看看我如何实现一个与ARC兼容的Objective-C单例?为了正确的执行。

我在其他答案中读到的所有初始化的实现都有一个共同的错误。

+ (void) initialize {
  _instance = [[MySingletonClass alloc] init] // <----- Wrong!
}

+ (void) initialize {
  if (self == [MySingletonClass class]){ // <----- Correct!
      _instance = [[MySingletonClass alloc] init] 
  }
}

苹果文档建议你检查初始化块中的类类型。因为子类默认调用初始化。存在一种不明显的情况，即可以通过KVO间接创建子类。如果你在另一个类中添加以下行:

[[MySingletonClass getInstance] addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"foo" options:0 context:nil]

Objective-C将隐式地创建MySingletonClass的一个子类，导致第二次触发+initialize。

你可能认为你应该隐式地检查init块中重复的初始化，如下所示:

- (id) init { <----- Wrong!
   if (_instance != nil) {
      // Some hack
   }
   else {
      // Do stuff
   }
  return self;
}

但你会搬起石头砸自己的脚;或者更糟糕的是，给其他开发者搬起石头砸自己的脚。

- (id) init { <----- Correct!
   NSAssert(_instance == nil, @"Duplication initialization of singleton");
   self = [super init];
   if (self){
      // Do stuff
   }
   return self;
}

TL, DR，这是我的实现

@implementation MySingletonClass
static MySingletonClass * _instance;
+ (void) initialize {
   if (self == [MySingletonClass class]){
      _instance = [[MySingletonClass alloc] init];
   }
}

- (id) init {
   ZAssert (_instance == nil, @"Duplication initialization of singleton");
   self = [super init];
   if (self) {
      // Initialization
   }
   return self;
}

+ (id) getInstance {
   return _instance;
}
@end

(用我们自己的断言宏替换ZAssert;或者只是NSAssert。)
