Yes, that is correct, we use the C++11 complex pattern.

Yes, we can generate custom constructors where required and perform custom operations within them but is there any mechanism that I can use to add extra parameters to these custom constructors that I have control over when when the object is instantiated?

Yes, how would I pass and assign custom parameters to the custom constructors?  Currently the parameters are the same as the parent class and these are passed down. I’d like to add an additional parameter that the custom constructor can use but I can’t see how we can add custom parameters as the objects are instantiated and the constructors called when the XML data is being parsed. I don’t see any mechanism to get extra constructor parameters that we can control and assign into the autogenerated XML parsing code.
