How do we avoid a singleton from being initialized multiple times in a multithreaded application?

To avoid multiple initializations of a singleton, we can use a reentrant lock to synchronize the threads. The first thread would be able to obtain the lock and initialize the singleton, while the other threads should wait until the initialization is finished.
