efficient thread-safe singleton in C++

by

If you are using C++11, here is a right way to do this:

Foo& getInst()
{
    static Foo inst(...);
    return inst;
}

According to new standard there is no need to care about this problem any more. Object initialization will be made only by one thread, other threads will wait till it complete.
Or you can use std::call_once. (more info here)
