[Saga-devel] Adding a new (overloaded) method to an adaptor

Hartmut,

The new function needs to be exposed through the SAGA API and ideally have the same name but be overloaded.

I've added it to the adaptor and the package (the Service Discovery class and its corresponding implementation class).  I've done as much of the macro-magic as I can but am not sure how to do the function registration.

So, how would I go about registering this overloaded function as we don't really want to use a different function name.

Thanks,

Paul.
