Singleton by Jon Skeet clarification
- by amutha
public sealed class Singleton
{
Singleton()
{
}
public static Singleton Instance
{
get
{
return Nested.instance;
}
}
class Nested
{
// Explicit static constructor to tell C# compiler
// not to mark type as beforefieldinit
static Nested()
{
}
internal static readonly Singleton instance = new Singleton();
}
}
I wish to implement Jon Skeet's Singleton pattern in my current application in C#.
I have two doubts on the code
1) How is it possible to access the outer class inside nested class?
I mean internal static readonly Singleton instance = new Singleton(); Is something called closure?
2) I did not get this comment
// Explicit static constructor to tell C# compiler
// not to mark type as beforefieldinit
what does this comment suggest us?
