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。

这也适用于非垃圾收集环境。

}

+(MySingleton *)sharedManager;

@end


@implementation MySingleton

static MySingleton *sharedMySingleton = nil;

+(MySingleton*)sharedManager {
    @synchronized(self) {
        if (sharedMySingleton == nil) {
            [[self alloc] init]; // assignment not done here
        }
    }
    return sharedMySingleton;
}


+(id)allocWithZone:(NSZone *)zone {
    @synchronized(self) {
        if (sharedMySingleton == nil) {
            sharedMySingleton = [super allocWithZone:zone];
            return sharedMySingleton;  // assignment and return on first allocation
        }
    }
    return nil; //on subsequent allocation attempts return nil
}


-(void)dealloc {

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.

这不应该是线程安全的，避免第一次调用后昂贵的锁定吗?

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