I've been looking into ways of creating singleton objects.
It strikes me that I've never wanted or needed a singleton object. Would you mind sharing your use case? I'm just curious.
I am using a class to manage configuration settings in an application. This object should only existe once so that when the user changes a setting through a configuration dialog the change imminent in all locations where access to config settings are needed.
Ahh, I see. I would typically just use a module in this situation, where the configuration settings were just names global to the module. Is there a benefit to using a singleton object over using just a module?
