Re: [Boost-users] how to make a vector to derivedClass::create() methods

Thank you for your patience. I am really wanting to make a factory that holds a std::map where the pair.first is a std::string and the pair.second is somehow a pointer to a constructor or create() method to any of several derived classes>.

I thought expressing in terms of vector might be simplified and enough for my understanding.

I see. How about using Boost.Function like this: std::map > factory_impl; //... factory_impl["Derived1"] = boost::lambda::new_ptr<Derived1>(); // ... Base* b = factory_impl["Derived1"](); In Christ, Steven Watanabe
