我的单例访问方法通常是一些变种:

static MyClass *gInstance = NULL;

+ (MyClass *)instance
{
    @synchronized(self)
    {
        if (gInstance == NULL)
            gInstance = [[self alloc] init];
    }

    return(gInstance);
}

我能做些什么来改善这一点呢?

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.

其他回答

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。

KLSingleton是: 可子类化(到n阶) 弧相容 使用alloc和init是安全的 装载 线程安全的 无锁(使用+initialize,而不是@synchronize) Macro-free Swizzle-free 简单的

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;
}

另一个选项是使用+(void)初始化方法。从文档中可以看到:

运行时将initialize发送给程序中的每个类一次,恰好在该类或从该类继承的任何类从程序中发送其第一条消息之前。(因此,如果类没有被使用,方法可能永远不会被调用。)运行时以线程安全的方式将初始化消息发送给类。超类在子类之前收到此消息。

所以你可以这样做:

static MySingleton *sharedSingleton;

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