- Sub: Re: Dynamic instanciation
-
- This is actually an interesting issue. Because C++ does not keep type
- information around at run-time, you'll have to do some things by hand if you
- really want this behavior. One place you can look for ideas is a paper
- presented at the Usenix C++ conference just past:
-
- ``Adding New Code to a Running C++ Program''
- Ravi Sethi, Jon Shopiro and Sean Dorwood
- 2nd C++ Conference, APril 9-11 1990, San Francisco CA
- Usenix Association, pp. 279-292
-
- The basic trick is a mapping from some basic form (character strings, for
- example) to new objects. Their approach includes class objects, to provide
- run-time access to class descriptions.
-
