[pclasses-devel] static sentries for factories won't work :(

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

i realized this morning:

One of the reasons that the factory registrations works at all is 
because anonymous namespaces create per-complication-unit copies of the 
factory registration code. What this means is that some factories may 
be registered from multiple places: the main app and arbitrary DLLs.

If we deregister a factory when a sentry destructs then we might remove 
a factory which has been registered multiple times, and therefor should 
not be removed.

The obvious "solution" would be to implement factory registration 
tracking of some sort: track which sentry registers which factory. i'm 
not at all certain how feasible this is, nor whether it would actually 
solve the problem, though.
