I thought that everyone might be interested in the following which basically creates a Boost-Centric Factory-Pattern Implementation, including:
Factory Abstract Factory Prototype
Here is a link to the article and the actual code: http://arcticinteractive.com/2008/10/06/boost-centric-factory-pattern-implem...
Have you take a look on the Boost.Factory library from Tobias Schwinger accepted the 2007-12-30. This library has not been yet added to Boost, you can get it from the Vault.
The Boost.Factory library seems to be something completely different. The boost-centric-factory-pattern-implementation library is definitely something I will try out as its implementation seems very complete and fits nicely into what I plan to do in the near future. So I think a review and inclusion into boost is something I would like to see. Keep up the good work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ George van Venrooij Organic Vectory http://www.organicvectory.com
