Dynamic pluggable factories?
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! /br __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!

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.

No, there is no such thing and I don't recall much discussion of factories for boost either. BTW, we tend to use real names on this mailing list not aliases... Jeff

I've implemented policy based pluggable factory framework based on ideas in above article. IMO I have even more flexible solution. See here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/pluggable_factory/ It's implemented a while ago, so it may need to be abit polished by now. Feel free to explore. Gennadiy.
