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。

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];
    }
}

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;
}

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

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:)

扩展一下@robbie-hanson的例子…

static MySingleton* sharedSingleton = nil;

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

- (id)init {
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        // Member initialization here.
    }
    return self;
}
