BR_REGISTER

A special macro to register plugins in the Factory::registry. When a plugin is registered the associated abstraction type will be removed from it's name, if it exists. For example, BR_REGISTER(Transform, ExampleTransform) will be registered as "Example". Plugins do not have to have the abstraction as part of their name.

• macro definition:

  #define BR_REGISTER(ABSTRACTION,IMPLEMENTATION)
  

• parameters:

  Parameter	Description
  ABSTRACTION	The Abstraction that the object inherits from. The object must inherit from Object somewhere in its inheritance tree. Abstractions should also implement ABSTRACTION *make(). See Transform as an example of an abstraction.
  IMPLEMENTATION	The Implementation of the object. This is the definition of the object you want returned when you call Factory<T>::make.

• example:

  class Implementation : public Abstraction
  {
      Q_OBJECT
  
      ... // some functions etc.
  };
