How can you make "Singleton" pattern to "Nton"?

How can you make "Singleton" pattern to "Nton"? MEANS: you explicitly define that how many times an static is allowed to initialize?

[Maximilien]

(you should have posted this in the Question&Answer section. How about using a counter ?

Watched code never compiles.

[Nemanja Trifunovic]

You add a counter that tracks the number of instantiations?

Fail. Programming question.

I expect he considered it a "lifestyle choice" question. ;)

Shame on us, someone pretty high ranking uni'd this guy. Where is the spirit of helping a new member, who formulated an actual intelligible question but happened to post in the wrong place?

You must be new here... (and it wasn't me).

Don't use a sync lock and call GetInstance() from mutlithreaded code?

[wizardzz]

New as in, he has only posted one other question, one comment, and five messages. New is not only a measurement of time, it also can mean inexperienced or unaccustomed.

Is that not a 'pool'? Like in ConnectionPool or ThreadPool?

In the pool, by idea, you have unlimited number of instances of the object/thread.

Yes, it can be done with something like connection pool with round robin manner.

[Lost User]

Ohh, my mistake.

[Lost User]

Exactly, i am also thinking like that. It can be done by counting the instantiation of static reference. But one more thing which has to be focus is clear the first instantiated reference to make it able to reassign again.
