A pointer to a type??

Is it possible to pass a pointer to a type as an argument to a function?

e.g.

Code:

---

void Function(void *type)
{
    type Variable;
}

---

Or something like that??

One solution is an object factory as Andrei Alexandrescu describes in Modern C++ Design.

Code:

---

typeplate <typename T, typename U>
class A
{
...
T * CreateObject();
};

---

The code above is an example and requires much more modifications to solve your problem. Nonetheless, the concept is the same.

This seems to work:

Code:

---

template<class T>
void Function(const T& obj)
{
  T innerobj;
  // ... Other Stuff
}

---

Cheers guys, I have a look :-)
