There have been a few boost users, including myself, who have inquired to the interest in such as library, but for some reason very few people were interested. FYI, I have a pluggable factory implementation in the vault at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/object_factory/ if you are interested. This particular version has only been tested on Visual Studio .NET though, and requires a fairly compliant compiler. I've been working on another version which works on non-compliant compilers, such as VC++ 6.0, but it's not quite finished yet as I've been very busy with other projects.

Hi, is there anything in Boost which resembles the dynamic pluggable factories as described in the article "Industrial Strength Pluggable Factories" written by Timothy R. Culp and published in the October 1999 issue of C++ Report (available online http://www.javareport.com/joop/crarticle.asp?ID=1520)?
If there is no such thing, has something like it been discussed? dismissed?
I for one can see a real need for it!
