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?

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

关于单例宏代码的详细解释在Cocoa With Love博客上

http://cocoawithlove.com/2008/11/singletons-appdelegates-and-top-level.html。

对于Objective C类方法,我们可以避免以通常的方式使用单例模式,如下所示:

[[Librarian sharedInstance] openLibrary]

to:

[Librarian openLibrary]

通过将类包装到另一个只有类方法的类中,这样就不会意外地创建重复的实例,因为我们没有创建任何实例!

我在这里写了一篇更详细的博客:)

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;
}

我在sharedInstance上有一个有趣的变化,它是线程安全的,但在初始化后不锁定。我还不确定是否可以按照要求修改顶部的答案,但我将其提出以供进一步讨论:

// Volatile to make sure we are not foiled by CPU caches
static volatile ALBackendRequestManager *sharedInstance;

// There's no need to call this directly, as method swizzling in sharedInstance
// means this will get called after the singleton is initialized.
+ (MySingleton *)simpleSharedInstance
{
    return (MySingleton *)sharedInstance;
}

+ (MySingleton*)sharedInstance
{
    @synchronized(self)
    {
        if (sharedInstance == nil)
        {
            sharedInstance = [[MySingleton alloc] init];
            // Replace expensive thread-safe method 
            // with the simpler one that just returns the allocated instance.
            SEL origSel = @selector(sharedInstance);
            SEL newSel = @selector(simpleSharedInstance);
            Method origMethod = class_getClassMethod(self, origSel);
            Method newMethod = class_getClassMethod(self, newSel);
            method_exchangeImplementations(origMethod, newMethod);
        }
    }
    return (MySingleton *)sharedInstance;
}

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。)
