Hello ,
I'm trying to implement a simple class factory-like behavior using a
generic function with a type argument. Something like
proc factory(type t){
var x : t;
x = new t() ; // This won't work
result = x.bar()
delete x;
return result;
}
new expects an identifier that represents a class name, and of course
will not work when given a type variable.
I suspect that this functionality (or something equivalent) is not
possible using Chapel's current definition, but I wanted to double check
in case I missed something in the documentation.
Thanks
Wael
