Hello,

Given that the response to my initial prompt for interest in a flyweight library was encouraging, I've worked a little more in it to the point that I can show now a pretty functional lib along with some docs. Please download at Vault/Patterns:

The documentation doesn't really says how memory management is done. Could you give more info about this ?

Well, this is meant to be an implementation detail, as different factories can do it in different ways, but the current ones are like this: value objects are stored in a static STL-like container (the factory core) along with some housekeeping info (a refcounting var and some more stuff), and what the flyweight really boils down to is an intrusive_ptr to this value element. When the refcount reaches zero, the element autoerases itself from the container. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
