RE: [Dev-C++] Help with creating objects dynamically

[Somanathan K. <som...@wi...>]

This is a strange requirement. Name of the object is normally irrelevant =
compared to its definition. Do you mind in sharing your requirement?

Nope. As far as I know, this is not possible in C++. I know, that Perl=20
can do it, but if you EVER programmed in Perl, you know how different it =

is. So I don't think it ca nbe done.

A solution to your problem might be to give a "name" member to your=20
class, then at object creation, the constructor takes it as parameter,=20
and copies it into the name member.
