Detailed Description

GManager stores factories for many unrelated types inside a single container. This is achieved by type-erasing the creation operation into Create(), which returns a raw pointer as void*.

Note

The returned pointer is owned by the caller of CreateObject(). The caller is responsible for deleting it (typically via a base-class pointer).
