Re: single class instance question

unmanaged C++  (not .NET, C# or anything relatively "new")

I found a method that seems to be working. I created my class and used a
private constructor along with a public accessor method that returns a
pointer to the class only if one has not already been created. If a pointer
has already been created, the accessor method returns that pointer instead
of creating a new one.

 I ran some tests on the code and compared various things like the address
of the 'this' pointer for the class and the address of the pointer being
returned by multiple instances of the class and the information matched
everywhere it would be expected to match, so it looks like this will work
for what I need.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice on this problem.
