You’ve got a potential race condition in the initializer. Using dispatch_once
instead will solve that:
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
myVLFContext = [[VLFContext alloc] init];
});
@synchronized(myVLFContext) {
...
}
If you keep having trouble with @synchronized, though, I’d recommend just
switching to a pthread_mutex_t, a spin lock, or dispatch_sync. Any of these
should have better performance than @synchronized anyway.
