We use <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Archive *Archive::create("non-existing-path")</tt> when we create a new archive (e.g. in <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Part</tt> and <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">AddToArchive</tt>), but the goal is to make those <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">create()</tt> methods private.</p>
<p>We could add another wrapper job, e.g. <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">CreateJob *Archive::create(...)</tt> that internally calls <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">AddJob</tt>. In practice:</p>
<ol class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">If an archive already exists, we have an <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Archive</tt> pointer and we can just call <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Archive::addFiles()</tt> like we already do.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">If we need to create a new archive, we do <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">auto createJob = Archive::create()</tt> and then, after the job is done, we retrieve the archive (<tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Archive *archive = createJob->archive();</tt>).</li>
