[pclasses-devel] NamedTypeFactory, Plugin

[Christian P. <cp...@se...>]

Hi Stephan, Hi List,

I've added a method to Factory and some helper macros to make life easier when 
registering named types and plugin types.

template <typename TypeName>
void registerType( const key_type & key, TypeName );

doesn't require passing Hook::FactoryCreateHook<InterfaceT,TypeName>::create.

--
class Base { };
class Bla : public Base { };

NamedTypeFactory<Base>::instance().registerType("Bla", Bla());
--

and this gets even simpler:

--
NAMEDTYPEFACTORY_REGISTER_TYPE(Base, Bla);
NAMEDTYPEFACTORY_REGISTER_ALIAS(Base, "AliasedBla", Bla);
--


While developing the ConsoleLogTarget plugin i've added two macros to make 
plugin developers life really easy:

--
class MyBla: public Base { };

PLUGIN_REGISTER_TYPE(Base, MyBla);
PLUGIN_REGISTER_ALIAS(Base, "MyAliasedBla", MyBla);
--

Thats it ! No more hand-coded plugin-stub code.
Couldn't get any easier!

Damn.. i really love the new Plugin framework.


Greetings, 
Christian
