Synopsis
create_object <out_var> <class_name> <constructor> [<arg>…]

Configuration
–

Description
The create_object function can be used to dynamically invoke the constructor of a class at run-time without using the new macro.

The recommended way to create objects is using the new macro which does validation at build-time. The create_object function exists only for those cases when that is not possible, when code is added at run-time, which could not be part of the build process. One example of such a case is when creating objects is needed in macros, since macros are scripts that are added to the build system at run-time, but they are not built themselves.
