Singleton mode

A class can only create one object （ Or instance ）, This design pattern is called singleton pattern .

The basic steps of creating a singleton ：

1. Constructor privatization , Avoid using external constructors to create objects .
2. Add private static pointer variables （instance）, This enables static member functions to access .
3. Provide static public Interface , Allows the user to obtain a single instance .

 

One 、 Hungry Chinese style

Class is instantiated when it is defined .
 

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Singleton {
private:
    //	1、 Declare the constructor as private or protected
    Singleton() {};
    Singleton(const Singleton &) {};
    //	2、 Declare a private static member 
    static Singleton *s_instance;
public:
    // 3、 establish public static Method , Return instance , For external calls .
    static Singleton* GetInstance();
    void fun() {
        cout << "call instance.\n";
    }
};

//	4、 Static member initialization , Internal members can call private functions 
Singleton* Singleton::s_instance = new Singleton();
Singleton* Singleton::GetInstance() {
    return s_instance;
}

int main()
{
    Singleton::GetInstance()->fun();
    return 0;
}

advantage ： Thread safety

shortcoming ： Delayed loading is not supported

Two 、 Slacker type

Class instances are instantiated the first time they are used .
 

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Singleton {
private:
    //	1、 Declare the constructor as private or protected
    Singleton() {};
    Singleton(const Singleton &) {};
public:
    //	2、 establish public static Method for external use and returns instance
    static Singleton* GetInstance();
    void fun() {
        cout << "call instance.\n";
    }
};

Singleton* Singleton::GetInstance() {
    // 3、 Declare local static variables , Initialize... On the first call , When the program ends, it will automatically recycle .
    static Singleton instance;
    return &instance;
}

int main()
{
    Singleton::GetInstance()->fun();
    return 0;
}

advantage ： Supports delayed loading 、 Thread safety ,《Effective C++》 Recommended approach

shortcoming ： If you change the role of multi-threaded locking mode , Frequent call locking 、 Releasing locks creates performance bottlenecks .

3、 ... and 、 Double detection

as long as instance After being created , Call again getInstance() Function will not enter the lock logic . therefore , This implementation solves the problem of low concurrency of lazy type .
 

#include <iostream>
#include <mutex>
using namespace std;

class Singleton {
private:
    //	1、 Declare the constructor as private or protected
    Singleton() {};
    Singleton(const Singleton &) {};
    //	2、 Must be declared as a static member , Can be accessed by static member functions .
    static Singleton *s_instance;
    static mutex s_mutex;

public:
    // 3、 Create instance return method , For external calls .
    static Singleton* GetInstance();
    void fun() {
        cout << "call instance.\n";
    }
};

// 4、 Static member variables of a class must be initialized （ Allocate memory ）
//  Static member variables are simply declared in a class , No definition , So define outside the class , It's actually allocating memory to static member variables 
Singleton* Singleton::s_instance = nullptr;
mutex Singleton::s_mutex;

Singleton* Singleton::GetInstance() {
    if (s_instance == nullptr) {   //  The first inspection 
        lock_guard<mutex> guard(s_mutex);
        if (s_instance == nullptr) {    //  A second check 
            s_instance = new Singleton();
        }
    }
    return s_instance;
}

int main()
{
    Singleton::GetInstance()->fun();
    return 0;
}

advantage ： Supports delayed loading 、 Support single instance implementation with high concurrency .

shortcoming ： Double check lock , Due to memory read and write reoder Cause insecurity .

Four 、 Example of packing sheet with template

template<typename T>
class Singleton
{
public:
    static T& getInstance() {
        static T value_; // Static local variables 
        return value_;
    }

private:
    Singleton();
    ~Singleton();
    Singleton(const Singleton&); // copy constructor 
    Singleton& operator=(const Singleton&); // = Operator overloading 
};

class A{
public:
    A(){
       a = 1;
    }
    void func(){
        cout << "A.a = " << a << endl;
    }

private:
    int a;
};

int main()
{
    Singleton<A>::getInstance().func();
    return 0;
}
