A Better Way to Force a C++ Class to Be a Singleton
The tip "How to Force a C++ Class to Be a Singleton" does not provide enough flexibility for the programmer to control the creation/deletion of the singleton instance. The following code provides better control over memory and class instance.

class MySignleton
{
public:
    static MySingleton* GetInstance()
    {
       if(!m_pThis)
          m_pThis = new MySingleton();
       return m_pThis;
    }

    static void DeleteInstance()
    { if(m_pThis) 
      {
       delete m_pThis;
       m_pThis = NULL;
      }
    }
private:
    MySingleton(){ m_pThis = NULL;}
    ~MySingleton();
    static MySingleton* m_pThis;
};

If you have a hot tip and we publish it, we'll pay you. However, due to accounting overhead we no longer pay $10 for a single tip submission. You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful. If it includes code, limit it to 20 lines if possible. Submit your tip here.
