Re: [Boost-users] Dynamically creating classed by name?

Note that a component of the serialization library "extended_type_info" addresses this issue (as it must) in order to de-serialize pointers. You might look in the serialization documentation. Robert Ramey Rob Caldecott wrote:

Is there any way that, using Boost, you can dynamically create classes by name, similar to the MFC RUNTIME_CLASS macros? I was hoping that the boost::serialize libs might be able to help with this.

For example, I want to be able to do something like:

CMyClass* pClass = CREATE_CLASS_BY_NAME("CMyClass");

Can Boost help me to achieve this?
