Google Singleton Detector 0.7.2 Released!

submited by krishnas on Sat Aug 11th, 2007

As promised, one of the things I'd like to focus on in this blog is the detection of singletons and other global state. In fact, I've been working on a tool to do just that during my summer internship at Google, and I've just gotten permission to open source it. The tool, called Google Singleton Detector, is a Java application that analyzes the Java bytecode of an existing code base to detect the presence of singletons and other global state. It produces a nice graph which shows singletons and all of the classes which use them.
