Instance()

template<class BaseClass >

static Factory<BaseClass>& exotica::Factory< BaseClass >::Instance ( void  )

void exotica::Factory< BaseClass >::RegisterType ( const std::string &  type, BaseClass *(*)()  creator_function  )

inline

Registers a new derived class type.

Parameters

type[in]	The name of the class (string): must be a unique identifier
creator[in]	A pointer to the creator function

< If it does not already exist
