Re: Launching and application in 32-bit in Leopard

You could also use posix_spawn for this. See man posix_spawn, the spawn.h header, and in particular man posix_spawnattr_setbinpref_np. posix_spawn is a replacement for the fork/exec method of launching a process. -Ken On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 10:48 AM, Sean McBride wrote: > On 10/6/09 10:36 AM, J

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. Luke On Oct 6, 2009, at 4:48 PM, Colin
