Hi Christian, Darryl, and anyone else interested,
You may get more response if you posted or linked to some motivational examples.
+1 on the examples. So far I'm merely intrigued to understand what the library is/does.
<snip>
The factory manager for 'ObjectBase' derivatives, which follows the singleton pattern, can be used from your program as follows (note: again this code is simplified):
---- Start of code sample 3 ---- #include <static_plugin.hpp> #include "ObjectBase.hpp"
typedef FactoryManager<ObjectBase> ObjectBaseFM;
int main(void) { const ObjectBaseFM& fm(getFactoryManager<ObjectBase>()); assert(fm.factoryCount() > 0); ObjectBase::IdType id(fm.factoryIdList().at(0)); std::auto_ptr<ObjectBase> object(fm.create(id)); object->doSomething(); return 0; } ---- End of code sample 3 ----
The only requirements are that ObjectBase defines the IdType type and SomeObject contains a static member of type IdType called 'id'. The declaration of the static_plugin::Creator<...> causes the SomeObject plugin to be registered.

Hi, I don't know if this is really related or not, there is a Functional/Factory library accepted in Boost.
