Abstract interface for user class factories.
The registration of a user-defined class requires a factory which constructs an instance of the class. The factory is passed during class registration, see mi::neuraylib::IDice_configuration::register_serializable_class().
|
pure virtual |
Creates an instance of the class for which the factory was registered.
Each class factory is free to decide which values and types of argc and argv are valid. However, it must handle the case transaction = NULL, argc = 0, and argv = NULL which is needed for deserialization.
| transaction | The transaction in which the instance is created. The transaction can be passed to the class constructor in case you want to create other class instances. Note that the transaction pointer must not be serialized/deserialized |
| argc | The size of the argv array. |
| argv | An array of optional arguments. |
NULL on failure. Implemented in mi::neuraylib::User_class_factory<T>.
