Dave,

Just to point out that the following snippet is not thread safe - this may
or may not be a problem - see the recent discussion on
comp.lang.c++.moderated (I think it was "thread safe singleton").

>template <class Derived, class Base>
Derived* Singleton<Derived,Base>::singleton()
{
    static Derived x;
    return &x;
}
<

- John.
