Hi zyx, how would you ensure that nobody abuses a static-methods-only factory class? What do you think of as best practice? I think, warning and error messages are instrumental to prevent abuse. Regarding the "unfinished work": should I submit an empty inline implementation (but commented out to prevent calls to it)? Best regards, mabri

Hi, yes, I understand the move to the private section of the class, there's no problem with it. What I do not like is to declare a class method (constructor, in this case), but do not implement it anywhere. Being it to make sure the class is not instantiated anywhere through the compiler warnings/errors is not the best practice from my point of view. It looks like unfinished work, which I really do not like. Imagine someone adding a non-static method to the class and realizing that there is some constructor defined, but without (even empty) implementation. That might not be good. Just my opinion.
