Instantiating a class by name in a string

[Qu0ll]

Is it possible to instantiate a class from its name stored in a string? In
Java I would use the Class.forName() method. Is there something equivalent
in C++?

Thanks Brij. I see now that there is no reflection in C++ like there is in
Java. The Factory pattern will have to do.
