Having considered [ http://www.research.ibm.com/designpatterns/pubs/ph-jun96.txt] I propose singleton implementation. I had attached "singleton.hpp" to this letter. Below is the test program: #include <stdio.h> #include <singleton.hpp> class A : public boost::Singleton<A> { // // Only Singleton class can create and delete us! // SINGLETON_IS_MY_FRIEND; public: void foo(){ printf("foo!\n"); } A(){ printf("A()\n"); } ~A(){ printf("~A()\n"); } }; void main() { // It is not compiled: //A a = A::Instance(); // That is exactly as it should be used: A::Instance().foo(); } Test program outputs: A() foo! ~A() I suggest include "singleton.hpp" into "utility.hpp" header that it can be used along with: boost::noncopyable, etc.
