Hey there !

I'm currently working on a piece of code which is intended to
instanciate objects, provided the type of an object..
Something like:

void CreateObject(ObjectType t)
{
ObjectType myobject = new ObjectType ();
}

I tried solving this issue using templates, but I'm not sure I'm using
it the right way nor templates can do the job..

the following compiles, but I'm wondering about the pending 't'
parameter...

Have you tried instantiating your template function?
btw you are missing main()

template <typename T>
void CreateObject(T t)
{
T t1 = new T();
}

You are missing a star before t1.

Depends what you want to do:

1)
template <typename T>
void CreateObject(T *&t)
{
   t = new T();
}

2)
template <typename T>
T* CreateObject(T t)
{
   T *t1 = new T( t );
   return t1;
}

It is not clear what you are trying to do
