Managing a singleton destructor

Question

The following small example implements a singleton pattern that I\'ve seen many times:

#include 

class SingletonTest {
private:
  Singleton         


        

Answer 1

if you declare the class which does the actual delete op as a friend (let it be shared_ptr or some kind of default deleter) a friend, your destructor can be private. Although i dont see any necessarity for making it private.
