Ok, a little bit of explanation...
Let's follow a real life example that occured to me a while ago. I wrote a piece of software that received a buffer through rs232. I had to interpret that buffer and, depending on the opcode I had to call the right function. Lest's just say there were about 100 different opcodes. Their destination were to several different objects.
Solution at that time: - read opcode from the buffer - creat a big switch/case to call the right object::function
Switch/case are apopriate if the opcode is not a string, in which case you'll just have 100 if/else if clauses.
My solution: - [begining]register each function in a container - [on each communication]pack each parameter in a vector<any> - call get the function by it's opcode(number/string/whatever) and call it

You should give a look at the dispatcher library implemented by Dean Michael Berris. http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=dispatcher-0.2.zip&directory=& I'm not sure that you've the same goals, but maybe you could collabarate and merging your efforts. :-) Regards, Marco
