hi!
normally i would simply do the following:
std::vector<Ele ment> vec;
void somefunc() {
Element e;
vec.push_back(e );
}
now Element e is in the vector. thats fine as long as no polymorphic
behaviour is needed.
std::vector<Ele ment &> vec;
void somefunc() {
Derived_from_El ement e;
vec.push_back(e ); //bad idea,.. e is gone after functionscope is left
}
what i want to avoid (if possible) are 2 things:
dynamic allocation of the objects, and having an extracontiner for every
type derived from the basetype to store the elements.
i hope, i made clear what i'm trying to do... so is there a solution (except
for the 2 mentioned above?)
thx, regards,

You can't hold references in containers - references are just aliases,
not real objects.
void somefunc() { Derived_from_El ement e; vec.push_back(e ); //bad idea,.. e is gone after functionscope is left }

It is obviously hard to avoid dynamic allocation of the objects, since
all of your derived types can have different sizes and alignment
requirements. There are techniques for doing it (as long as all
derived classes are known in advance), but they would be premature
optimization in this case I am sure. Your best bet is to use a
container of smart pointers:
std::vector<sha red_ptr<Element > > vec;
vec.push_back(s hared_ptr<Eleme nt>(new Derived_from_El ement));
See www.boost.org for shared_ptr.

No, but it's really very simple to roll your own basic smart pointer. It
would not have all the functionality of boost's but would certainly support
polymorphism and automatic cleanup.
Have a look at Scott Meyers book for example code (I think its the More
Effective C++ one).

boost::shared_p tr has been proposed for standardization as part of the
library technical report. Look out for std::tr1::share d_ptr, coming to
your compiler soon.
There is no current standard solution, except to write your own smart
pointer class (not at all recommended - matching boost::shared_p tr's
functionality is non-trivial).

Hi,
I am currently porting a C++ project (linux version) under windows.
This project uses the STL stuff. When I try to compile and built my
project, I get a lot of errors.
The main part of them seems to be due to the stl library. Indeed, it
seems that the standard libary redefines some structure already
defined in xutility.
I tryed some tricks without any success.
