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?

hi rob, i guess you're looking for some kind of reflection library. there is none so far in boost, but there were some proposals in the past. see: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/01/99686.php HTH dave
