Apple's Objective-C runtime provides thread-safety guarantees for +initialize. If you are on some other platform then you should check if that platform provides similar guarantees. dispatch_once() is the best solution on Apple's platforms. If you don't like dispatch_once() then you could use pthread_once(). If you don't like dispatch_once() nor pthread_once() then you can use PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER instead of pthread_mutex_init(). That avoids any questions of +initialize thread-safety. -- Greg Parker gpar...@apple.com Runtime Wrangler _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
