/**
 * @class ACE_Singleton
 *
 * @brief A Singleton Adapter uses the Adapter pattern to turn ordinary
 * classes into Singletons optimized with the Double-Checked
 * Locking optimization pattern.
 *
 * This implementation is a slight variation on the GoF
 * Singleton pattern.  In particular, a single
 * <ACE_Singleton<TYPE, ACE_LOCK> > instance is allocated here,
 * not a <TYPE> instance.  The reason for this is to allow
 * registration with the ACE_Object_Manager, so that the
 * Singleton can be cleaned up when the process exits.  For this
 * scheme to work, a (static) cleanup() function must be
 * provided.  ACE_Singleton provides one so that TYPE doesn't
 * need to.
 * If you want to make sure that only the singleton instance of
 * <T> is created, and that users cannot create their own
 * instances of <T>, do the following to class <T>:
 * (a) Make the constructor of <T> private (or protected)
 * (b) Make Singleton a friend of <T>
 * Here is an example:
 * @verbatim
 * class foo
 * {
 * friend class ACE_Singleton<foo, ACE_Null_Mutex>;
 * private:
 * foo () { cout << "foo constructed" << endl; }
 * ~foo () { cout << "foo destroyed" << endl; }
 * };
 * typedef ACE_Singleton<foo, ACE_Null_Mutex> FOO;
 * @endverbatim
 *
 * @note The best types to use for ACE_LOCK are
 * ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex and ACE_Null_Mutex.
 * ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex should be used in multi-threaded
 * programs in which it is possible for more than one thread to
 * access the <ACE_Singleton<TYPE, ACE_LOCK>> instance.
 * ACE_Null_Mutex can be used otherwise.  The reason that these
 * types of locks are best has to do with their allocation by
 * the ACE_Object_Manager.  Single ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex
 * and ACE_Null_Mutex instances are used for all ACE_Singleton
 * instantiations.  However, other types of locks are allocated
 * per ACE_Singleton instantiation.

 * with the ACE_Object_Manager directly.
 *
 * This version of ACE_Singleton should be used for singletons
 * that live in a dll loaded either directly by ACE_DLL or indirectly
 * by the ACE Service Configuration framework.  Whenever ACE_DLL is ready
 * to actually unload the dll, ACE_DLL_Singleton based dlls associated
 * with that dll will be destroyed first.  In fact, any singleton can
 * safely use ACE_DLL_Singleton, even those that don't live in dlls.  In
 * that case, the singleton will be destroyed at normal program shutdown.
 *
 * The only additional requirement is that the contained class
 * export name() and dll_name() methods.  See ACE_DLL_Singleton_Adapter_T
 * below for a convenient example of how to satisfy this
 * requirement for the dll_name().
 *
 * Usage is the same as for ACE_Singleton, but note that if you
 * you declare a friend, the friend class must still be an
 * *ACE_Singleton*<T, [ACE_LOCK]>, not an ACE_Unmanaged_Singleton.
