@DonalFellows: I wonder if there would have been any fundamental problems in Java or .NET with having a special syntax for invoking private constructors (e.g. new this(args), and having new className(args) invoke a static method className.ctor(args) [which for most classes could be auto-generated to simply return new this(args)]? I would think that would simplify the frameworks, and would also allow a constructor of class T to distinguish easily whether it was being used to construct a T, or prepare the base of something derived from T.

Ah, Factory Method. A workaround for the fact that new isn't a method (in some – admittedly common – object systems).

| Jun 6, 2011 at 9:47 | comment | added | Phil.Wheeler | Yes - Factory Method. | |
| Jun 6, 2011 at 9:35 | comment | added | Thomas Owens♦ | To clarify, do you mean "Factory Method" when you say "Factory Pattern"? If you are talking about the Gang of Four patterns, there is no Factory Pattern, but there are Abstract Factory and Factory Method. | |
