Re: Managing multiple instances

When other parts of the application need to access a particular
instance of a specific object they request the object by a type
enumeration and provide the instance number of that object that is
requested. Multiple instances of the same object may be kept in the
data structure. I did not design this and don't believe in "all the
core application classes should inherit from X and they all should be
stored in the SAME data structure" but I have to work with it. So an
object is stored and retrieved according to a class identifier and the
instance number of objects with that class identifer.

OK, but that means you have a fundamental architectural problem. You are going to have to decide whether to change the architecture or bandage the symptoms. Changing the architecture is probably going to result in a substantial "shotgun refactoring".


changing architecture is not a refactoring - its rewriting.
