The classes below support usage of singletons, including use in // program startup/shutdown code, AS LONG AS there is only one thread // running before main() begins, and only one thread running after main() // exits. // // This class is also limited in that it can only provide singleton usage for // classes with default constructors. // // The design of this class is somewhat twisted, but can be followed by the // calling inheritance. Let us assume that there is some user code that // calls "singleton_default::instance()". The following (convoluted) // sequence ensures that the same function will be called before main(): // instance() contains a call to create_object.do_nothing() // Thus, object_creator is implicitly instantiated, and create_object // must exist. // Since create_object is a static member, its constructor must be // called before main(). // The constructor contains a call to instance(), thus ensuring that // instance() will be called before main(). // The first time instance() is called (i.e., before main()) is the // latest point in program execution where the object of type T // can be created. // Thus, any call to instance() will auto-magically result in a call to // instance() before main(), unless already present. // Furthermore, since the instance() function contains the object, instead // of the singleton_default class containing a static instance of the // object, that object is guaranteed to be constructed (at the latest) in // the first call to instance().
