Re: Wrapping C functions

[Martin Kalbfuß]

Thank you David. That helped a lot. I decided to have a global library object
created with load.
But how to release it? Currently I set an atexit function in the load method
which calls the release method of the class. But is there an Objective-C
way?

Another point is that I want to forbid the instanciation of the class. I
think a singleton is the right way to go. But how can I create a singleton,
when I cannot hide methods?
