I am writing a Bloom Filter package. Within my package, I want to create an instance of X
(non-exported) which I want to exist only as a single instance; no matter how many times my package is imported into an app.
A simple snippet of what I am doing is:
package superduperbloomfilter
var x X
func init() {
x = X.New(....)
}
Is this correct ?
which I want to exist only as a single instance; no matter how many times my package is imported into an app
The spec says an imported package is initialized only once:
If a package has imports, the imported packages are initialized before initializing the package itself. If multiple packages import a package P, P will be initialized only once.
