The canonical implementation of a singleton class uses a static to hold the singleton instance. There are other examples in Apple sample code of using class statics. So, I would say that it's not frowned upon as long as there's a good reason to do it.

Hi,

I'm coming across the odd instance where the use of a class variable would seem to make sense.

I can do this with a static definition in the class implementation file, I suppose.

Question is: is this particularly frowned upon in the Cocoa world? If so, why?

Thanks,
