### Input Parameters

| tp | - the data structure type of the object (for example _p_Vec)
| pops | - the data structure type of the objects operations (for example VecOps)
| classid | - the classid associated with this object (for example VEC_CLASSID)
| class_name | - string name of class; should be static (for example "Vec")
| com | - the MPI Communicator
| des | - the destroy routine for this object (for example VecDestroy())
| vie | - the view routine for this object (for example VecView())

### Output Parameter

h -the newly created object

Developer Note: This currently is a CPP macro because it takes the types (for example _p_Vec and VecOps) as arguments
