Detailed Description

template<class T>
class Teuchos::AbstractFactory< T >

Simple, universal "Abstract Factory" interface for the dynamic creation of objects.

While RCP provides for specialized deallocation policies it does not abstract, in any way, how an object is first allocated. The most general way to abstract how an object is allocated is to use an "Abstract Factory". This base class defines the most basic "Abstract Factory" interface and defines only one virtual function, create() that returns a RCP-wrapped object.
