Singleton in a DLL? | 易学教程

问题

So i am trying to export somethings in a project to DLL. Anyways a few of the projects use a singleton class very heavily.

template <typename T>
class DLL_IMP VA_Singleton {
protected:
    VA_Singleton () {};
    ~VA_Singleton () {};
public:
    static T *Get(){
        return (static_cast<T*> (a_singleton));
    }
    static void Delete(){
        if(a_singleton == NULL) {
            delete a_singleton;
        }
    }
    static void Create(){
        a_singleton = GetInstance();
        if(a_singleton == NULL){
           a_singleton = new T;
        }
    }
private:
    static T *a_singleton;
};

template <typename T> T *VA_Singleton<T>::a_singleton = NULL;

I got the export working fine, but when it comes to importing it states this:

template <typename T> T *VA_Singleton<T>::a_singleton = NULL;

Does not work with DLLImport. This is the first time ive ever really worked with DLL's in a work enviroment. Does anyone have any ideas?

Please see Multiple Singleton Instances

You will have to ensure that your template instantiation is done in one compilation unit, and you will have to move the pointer = NULL initialization to the CPP file. In other DLLs, you'll have to use extern templates.

Edit: If you are stuck with getting templated singletons to work over multiple DLLs, you could also define a short wrapper function that returns your singleton instance so that the template instantiation is done in one compilation unit only.

Example:

template class Singleton<T>;
__declspec(dllexport/dllimport) T& getInstanceForMyType();
// in the cpp file:
T& getInstanceForMyType()
{
    return Singleton<MyType>::getInstance();
}
