You've gotten some very good advice from people for setting up a singleton.
I generally use this kind of pattern:
+ (ClassName*)sharedInstance {
static ClassName* sSingleton = nil;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
sSingleton = [ClassName new];
});
return sSingleton;
}
This way, unless the object itself requires initialization on a specific thread
(like CoreData kind of does), then this should be thread-safe and supports lazy
initialization. After all, why initialize something that you'll never use?
