Sure it is possible. Just pass the constructor your type:

my_type* t = New( MyType ) ;

Where MyType passes information to New() of what to create.

...

I don't know what I'm downvoted.

This clearly works. The naive solution without macros would have MyType be a simple integer and New() has a switch statement. But it is easy to avoid that.

The Pirate Bay earned up to 35 million kronor ($5.2 million) in advertising revenue from the file sharing website, >>>film companies maintained<<<

And literally the second paragraph in your link:

If you know the character length of the text and it isn't too hard. Take the 26 characters + 6 punctuations and try every possible combination. Hamlet has 31842 words, the average word is 5+1 characters, which gives 191052 characters.

32^191052 == 10^(10^5.458731365078367)

Compared to their result

10^(10^5.198179689961317)

I'm interested in particle physics but still I don't see any motivation to do it. How can I determine I learned something, how can I compare my progress to others. It just feels like I'm doing a captcha for them.

They should licence a form of StackOverflows's system which basically uses a skinner box approach which is very addicting and still rewarding if you get some positive benefit out of it.
