| | Singleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computer programming, a singleton is a common design pattern. |  | | In variable-width encoding schemes for computer character sets, a singleton is a character encoded with one unit, as opposed to characters encoded with multiple-unit sequences. |  | | A singleton is also a variable that is only used once in a program, usually indicating a programming mistake. |

| | Singleton pattern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In software engineering, the singleton design pattern is designed to restrict instantiation of a class to one (or a few) objects. |  | | A possible C++ solution (also known as Meyers singleton) where the singleton is a static local object (note: this solution is not thread-safe and is designed to give an idea of how singletons work rather than a solution usable in large-scale software project). |  | | In a prototype-based programming language, where objects but not classes are used, a "singleton" simply refers to an object without copies or that is not used as the prototype for any other object. |

| | When is a Singleton not a Singleton? |
 | | The Singleton should not be seen as way to implement global variables in the Java programming language; rather, along the lines of the factory design patterns, the Singleton lets you encapsulate and control the creation process by making sure that certain prerequisites are fulfilled or by creating the object lazily on demand. |  | | The Singleton's purpose is to control object creation, limiting the number to one but allowing the flexibility to create more objects if the situation changes. |  | | One of the strengths of the Singleton design pattern, as opposed to static methods, is that if you change your mind and want more than one, the Singleton class can be easily altered. |

| | Exploring the Singleton Design Pattern (Building Distributed Applications) |
 | | In most cases, it is very easy to develop a singleton without a parent class, and adding sub-classing functionality adds a new level of complexity that is generally not needed anyway. |  | | In each preceding code example, the original implementation for a singleton has undergone changes over time to address issues that have been discovered with each new implementation of the pattern. |  | | The Singleton pattern was formally defined in the classic reference, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Software by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides (also known as the Gang of Four, or GoF). |

 | | The Singleton pattern places responsibility for object *creation* squarely in the Singleton class. |  | | The only drawback I could see here is that it makes it hard to extend the Singleton through subclassing, since Instance will always create an object of type Singleton. |  | | If your Singleton objects ever need to do such cleanup, they probably have to wait until just before the program terminates. |
