Singleton pattern in C++
- by skydoor
I have a question about the singleton pattern.
I saw two cases concerning the static member in the singleton class.
First it is an object, like this
class CMySingleton
{
public:
static CMySingleton& Instance()
{
static CMySingleton singleton;
return singleton;
}
// Other non-static member functions
private:
CMySingleton() {} // Private constructor
~CMySingleton() {}
CMySingleton(const CMySingleton&); // Prevent copy-construction
CMySingleton& operator=(const CMySingleton&); // Prevent assignment
};
One is an pointer, like this
class GlobalClass
{
int m_value;
static GlobalClass *s_instance;
GlobalClass(int v = 0)
{
m_value = v;
}
public:
int get_value()
{
return m_value;
}
void set_value(int v)
{
m_value = v;
}
static GlobalClass *instance()
{
if (!s_instance)
s_instance = new GlobalClass;
return s_instance;
}
};
What's the difference between the two cases? Which one is correct?
