Hi,

i have implemented a singelton pattern using a  creator object:
Is this save ?  Is it guaranteed, that this creator object is created at the
program startup ?


class FooCreator
{
public:
    FooCreator()
    {
        Foo::instance = new Foo;
    }

    ~Foo()
    {
        delete Foo::instance;
    }
};


static FooCreator creator;     // IS THIS OK ??????


class Foo
{
public:
    static Foo & instance();

private:
   static Foo *instance;


    friend class FooCreator;
};



Foo & Foo::instance()
{
    return *instance;
}


Greetings,
Marco Siciliano
