copied!<p>You could try something different, though. I wouldn't have thought of this more than a couple days ago, but I happened to be reading <a href="http://cocoawithlove.com/2008/11/singletons-appdelegates-and-top-level.html" rel="nofollow">Cocoa With Love</a>. In the post linked, he discussed how he made a <code>#define</code> macro that would "generate" the entire class for a singleton into wherever you called the macro from. You can <a href="http://projectswithlove.com/projects/SynthesizeSingleton.h.zip" rel="nofollow">download his code</a> for this (may give ideas on your own implementation).</p> <p>Perhaps something like (<em>Warning: Untested Code Ahead</em>):</p> <pre><code>#define SYNTHESIZE_LAZY_INITIALIZER_FOR_OBJECT(objectName, objectType) \ \ - (objectType *)objectName \ { \ if(!objectName) \ { \ objectName = [[objectType alloc] init]; \ } \ return objectName; \ } \ \ - (void)set##objectName:(objectType *)value \ { \ [value retain]; \ [objectName release]; \ objectName = value; \ } </code></pre> <p>would work? I apologize that I don't have time to properly test it for you, so take that as fair warning that this isn't a quick copy/paste solution. Sorry about that. Hopefully it is still useful! ;)</p> <hr> <p><strong>Example Usage</strong></p> <p>This should work, again <em>Warning: Untested Code Ahead</em>:</p> <p>Header</p> <pre><code>// .... @interface SomeClass : NSObject { NSObject *someObj; } @end </code></pre> <p>Implementation</p> <pre><code>@implementation SomeClass // .... SYNTHESIZE_LAZY_INITIALIZER_FOR_OBJECT(someObj, NSObject); // .... @end </code></pre>
