No, now I check....

....Ok. I've had a look.

Well i won't say "simple", I can get an up to 6 parameter factory with
much less KB and copy & paste. Also I've seen factory uses typeid,
mine does not uess RTTI.

I didn't run the factory, and the tutorial was not enough to say if
the factory checks for parameter overloading and checks for ambiguous
contructor calls, as example

MyClass(int v);
MyClass(int& v);
MyClass(const int& v);

can all be called by
    new MyClass(7);

But compiler errors out (where ctor is called _not_ where ctors are
defined!) for ambiguous call. Factory should check against registering
this kind of c'tor parameters.

Now, very sorry, but I really have to ask you: "Did you have a look at mine?"

Thanks
