Abstract base class to force each derived classes to be Singleton?

When you want to enfore compile time checking, this is not possible. With runtime checking you can do this. It's not pretty, but it's possible.

Here's an example.

That would not work because the singleton needs somwhere a static access and that can not be forced.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
