18 // The intention here is to define a template which will convert
19 // any class into a singleton with the following features:
20 //
21 // a) initialized before first use.
22 // b) thread-safe for const access to the class
23 // c) non-locking
24 //
25 // In order to do this,
26 // a) Initialize dynamically when used.
27 // b) Require that all singletons be initialized before main
28 // is called or any entry point into the shared library is invoked.
29 // This guarentees no race condition for initialization.
30 // In debug mode, we assert that no non-const functions are called
31 // after main is invoked.

57 // Provides a dynamically-initialized (singleton) instance of T in a
58 // way that avoids LNK1179 on vc6.  See http://tinyurl.com/ljdp8 or
59 // http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/05/105286.php for
60 // details.
61 //
62 
63 // Singletons created by this code are guaranteed to be unique
64 // within the executable or shared library which creates them.
65 // This is sufficient and in fact ideal for the serialization library.
66 // The singleton is created when the module is loaded and destroyed
67 // when the module is unloaded.
68 
69 // This base class has two functions.
70 
71 // First it provides a module handle for each singleton indicating
72 // the executable or shared library in which it was created. This
73 // turns out to be necessary and sufficient to implement the tables
74 // used by serialization library.
75 
76 // Second, it provides a mechanism to detect when a non-const function
77 // is called after initialization.
78 
79 // Make a singleton to lock/unlock all singletons for alteration.
80 // The intent is that all singletons created/used by this code
81 // are to be initialized before main is called. A test program
82 // can lock all the singletons when main is entered.  Thus any
83 // attempt to retrieve a mutable instance while locked will
84 // generate an assertion if compiled for debug.
85 
86 // The singleton template can be used in 2 ways:
87 // 1 (Recommended): Publicly inherit your type T from singleton<T>,
88 // make its ctor protected and access it via T::get_const_instance()
89 // 2: Simply access singleton<T> without changing T. Note that this only
90 // provides a global instance accesible by singleton<T>::get_const_instance()
91 // or singleton<T>::get_mutable_instance() to prevent using multiple instances
92 // of T make its ctor protected
93 
94 // Note on usage of BOOST_DLLEXPORT: These functions are in danger of
95 // being eliminated by the optimizer when building an application in
96 // release mode. Usage of the macro is meant to signal the compiler/linker
97 // to avoid dropping these functions which seem to be unreferenced.
98 // This usage is not related to autolinking.
