template<class Base >
boost::shared_ptr< BasecreateInstance (const std::string &class_name)
 Creates an instance of an object of given class name with ancestor class Base This version does not look in a specific library for the factory, but rather the first open library that defines the classs.
template<class Base >
boost::shared_ptr< BasecreateInstance (const std::string &class_name, const std::string &library_path)
 Creates an instance of an object of given class name with ancestor class Base This version takes a specific library to make explicit the factory being used.
template<class Base >
BasecreateUnmanagedInstance (const std::string &class_name)
 Creates an instance of an object of given class name with ancestor class Base This version does not look in a specific library for the factory, but rather the first open library that defines the classs This version should not be used as the plugin system cannot do automated safe loading/unloadings.

template<class Base >
boost::shared_ptr<Base> class_loader::MultiLibraryClassLoader::createInstance ( const std::string &  class_name) [inline]

Creates an instance of an object of given class name with ancestor class Base This version does not look in a specific library for the factory, but rather the first open library that defines the classs.
