Is this a good code (came across while reading code of a colleague)

Filed under:

// file a.hpp

class a;
typedef boost::shared_ptr<a> aPtr

class a{
public:
    static aPtr CreateImp();
    virtual void Foo() = 0 ;
    ....
};

//file aImp.hpp

class aImp : public a{

    virtual void Foo();

};

//file aImp.cpp

aPtr a::CreateImp()
{
     return aPtr(new aImp());
}

void aImp::Foo(){}

The client must use CreateImp to get ptr to 'a', and can't use 'a' other ways. What do you think about this implementation? what do you think about this king of implementation?
