这也适用于非垃圾收集环境。

@interface MySingleton : NSObject {
}

+(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 {
    [super dealloc];
}

-(id)copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone {
    return self;
}


-(id)retain {
    return self;
}


-(unsigned)retainCount {
    return UINT_MAX;  //denotes an object that cannot be release
}


-(void)release {
    //do nothing    
}


-(id)autorelease {
    return self;    
}


-(id)init {
    self = [super init];
    sharedMySingleton = self;

    //initialize here

    return self;
}

@end

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;
}

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];
    }
}

简单回答:太棒了。

长话短说:类似....

static SomeSingleton *instance = NULL;

@implementation SomeSingleton

+ (id) instance {
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        if (instance == NULL){
            instance = [[super allocWithZone:NULL] init];
        }
    });
    return instance;
}

+ (id) allocWithZone:(NSZone *)paramZone {
    return [[self instance] retain];
}

- (id) copyWithZone:(NSZone *)paramZone {
    return self;
}

- (id) autorelease {
    return self;
}

- (NSUInteger) retainCount {
    return NSUIntegerMax;
}

- (id) retain {
    return self;
}

@end

一定要阅读dispatch/once.h头文件以了解发生了什么。在这种情况下，标题注释比文档或手册页更适用。

这也适用于非垃圾收集环境。

@interface MySingleton : NSObject {
}

+(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 {
    [super dealloc];
}

-(id)copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone {
    return self;
}


-(id)retain {
    return self;
}


-(unsigned)retainCount {
    return UINT_MAX;  //denotes an object that cannot be release
}


-(void)release {
    //do nothing    
}


-(id)autorelease {
    return self;    
}


-(id)init {
    self = [super init];
    sharedMySingleton = self;

    //initialize here

    return self;
}

@end

我通常使用的代码大致类似于Ben Hoffstein的回答(这也是我从维基百科上得到的)。我使用它的原因是Chris Hanson在他的评论中提到的。

然而，有时我需要将一个单例放入NIB中，在这种情况下，我使用以下方法:

@implementation Singleton

static Singleton *singleton = nil;

- (id)init {
    static BOOL initialized = NO;
    if (!initialized) {
        self = [super init];
        singleton = self;
        initialized = YES;
    }
    return self;
}

+ (id)allocWithZone:(NSZone*)zone {
    @synchronized (self) {
        if (!singleton)
            singleton = [super allocWithZone:zone];     
    }
    return singleton;
}

+ (Singleton*)sharedSingleton {
    if (!singleton)
        [[Singleton alloc] init];
    return singleton;
}

@end

我把-retain(等等)的实现留给读者，尽管在垃圾收集环境中您只需要上面的代码。
