C++ Passing a class as a parameter

January 3, 2024 by Tarik

You can use templates to accomplish something similar (but not exactly that):

template<class T>
void MyFunction()
{
    T *tmp = new T();
}

and call it with MyFunction<MyClassName>().

Note that this way, you can’t use a “variable” in place of T. It should be known at compile time.
