Is there a way to enforce singleton in a class hierarchy ? I don’t have a use case for this, I am just curious if it’s possible ?
Hierarchy in the sense, all class’es inheriting from this class would also be singletons.

Nope. You can help them be a Singleton but you can’t enforce the access control of their constructors, so it’s impossible to force them to be Singletons.
