It can't make the derived class constructors protected, though, so // you have to do that yourself. // // There are two ways to use LLSingleton. The first way is to inherit from it // while using the typename that you'd like to be static as the template // parameter, like so: // // class Foo: public LLSingleton{}; // // Foo& instance = Foo::instance(); // // The second way is to use the singleton class directly, without inheritance: // // typedef LLSingleton FooSingleton; // // Foo& instance = FooSingleton::instance(); // // In this case, the class being managed as a singleton needs to provide an // initSingleton() method since the LLSingleton virtual method won't be // available // // As currently written, it is not thread-safe. template class LLSingleton : private boost::noncopyable { private: typedef enum e_init_state { UNINITIALIZED, CONSTRUCTING, INITIALIZING, INITIALIZED, DELETED } EInitState; static DERIVED_TYPE* constructSingleton() { return new DERIVED_TYPE(); } // stores pointer to singleton instance struct SingletonLifetimeManager { SingletonLifetimeManager() { construct(); } static void construct() { sData.mInitState = CONSTRUCTING; sData.mInstance = constructSingleton(); sData.mInitState = INITIALIZING; } ~SingletonLifetimeManager() { if (sData.mInitState != DELETED) { deleteSingleton(); } } }; public: virtual ~LLSingleton() { sData.mInstance = NULL; sData.mInitState = DELETED; } /** * @brief Immediately delete the singleton. * * A subsequent call to LLProxy::getInstance() will construct a new * instance of the class. * * LLSingletons are normally destroyed after main() has exited and the C++ * runtime is cleaning up statically-constructed objects. Some classes * derived from LLSingleton have objects that are part of a runtime system * that is terminated before main() exits. Calling the destructor of those * objects after the termination of their respective systems can cause * crashes and other problems during termination of the project. Using this * method to destroy the singleton early can prevent these crashes. * * An example where this is needed is for a LLSingleton that has an APR * object as a member that makes APR calls on destruction. The APR system is * shut down explicitly before main() exits. This causes a crash on exit. * Using this method before the call to apr_terminate() and NOT calling * getInstance() again will prevent the crash. */ static void deleteSingleton() { delete sData.mInstance; sData.mInstance = NULL; sData.mInitState = DELETED; } static DERIVED_TYPE* getInstance() { static SingletonLifetimeManager sLifeTimeMgr; switch (sData.mInitState) { case UNINITIALIZED: // should never be uninitialized at this point llassert(false); return NULL; case CONSTRUCTING: LL_ERRS() << "Tried to access singleton " << typeid(DERIVED_TYPE).name() << " from singleton constructor!" << LL_ENDL; return NULL; case INITIALIZING: // go ahead and flag ourselves as initialized so we can be reentrant during initialization sData.mInitState = INITIALIZED; // initialize singleton after constructing it so that it can reference other singletons which in turn depend on it, // thus breaking cyclic dependencies sData.mInstance->initSingleton(); return sData.mInstance; case INITIALIZED: return sData.mInstance; case DELETED: LL_WARNS() << "Trying to access deleted singleton " << typeid(DERIVED_TYPE).name() << " creating new instance" << LL_ENDL; SingletonLifetimeManager::construct(); // same as first time construction sData.mInitState = INITIALIZED; sData.mInstance->initSingleton(); return sData.mInstance; } return NULL; } // Reference version of getInstance() // Preferred over getInstance() as it disallows checking for NULL static DERIVED_TYPE& instance() { return *getInstance(); } // Has this singleton been created yet? // Use this to avoid accessing singletons before they can safely be constructed. static bool instanceExists() { return sData.mInitState == INITIALIZED; } private: virtual void initSingleton() {} struct SingletonData { // explicitly has a default constructor so that member variables are zero initialized in BSS // and only changed by singleton logic, not constructor running during startup EInitState mInitState; DERIVED_TYPE* mInstance; }; static SingletonData sData; }; template typename LLSingleton::SingletonData LLSingleton::sData; #endif
