C Singleton Pattern Code Guide

The C Singleton design pattern is a creational pattern used to ensure a class has only one instance, providing a global point of access to that instance. This is crucial in managing resources like configurations or connections in software systems. Implementing the Singleton pattern in C enhances control over object creation, ensuring efficient resource use and consistent behavior across applications.

Design Patterns

Why would we want to use a Singleton? In some programs you would want a single instance of a class, for example a db connection. If you have multiple connections you may have fall into update race proplems or lockups from multiple connections trying to gain access the same db. An implementation of the singleton pattern must: ensure that only one instance of the singleton class ever exists; and provide global access to that instance. Typically, this is done by declaring all constructors of the class to be private; and providing a static method that returns a reference to the instance. We start with createing a ‘Singleton’ class, a .cpp file. #include class Singleton { static Singleton* s; std::string onlyOne; Singleton(); public: Singleton(const Singleton\u0026) = delete; Singleton\u0026 operator=(const Singleton\u0026) = delete; ~Singleton(); static Singleton* getInstance(); void setSingleton(const std::string \u0026st); std::string getSingelton(); }; You need to disable the copy constructor. Now let’s create the .h Singleton header file. #include class Singleton { static Singleton* s; std::string onlyOne; Singleton(); public: Singleton(const Singleton\u0026) = delete; Singleton\u0026 operator=(const Singleton\u0026) = delete; ~Singleton(); static Singleton* getInstance(); void setSingleton(const std::string \u0026st); std::string getSingelton(); }; Now let’s put this all together in main method in the main.cpp file #include #include \
