I am going to make a queue of events to be dispatched to 1 or many
event handlers. I know I read that in order to use a std container I
must implement a default constructor, a copy constructor, and an
assignment operator.
The requirements are copy constructible and assignable, not default
constructible.
However, do any of these apply if I only queue up
pointers to events and then release the allocated memory after the
event has been dispatched and processed?
Pointers can be copied and assigned, so they fill the requirements.
And is that a bad idea?
Raw pointers is generally a bad idea, especially for novices. Use some
smart pointer. boost::shared_p tr comes to mind; check out the Boost
library.

If you have STL containers (like list, vector,...) in
functions as automatic variables, do the nodes that
are put on the containers get buffered so they can be reused
by later container operations?
For example, if I have 10 member methods, and lots of them have
a list <Foo*> when that list is cleared or goes out
of scope, the nodes are deleted (don't worry about deleting the
Foo* themselves, they are just extra pointers to classes in...

Dear C++ Experts,
Over the last couple of months I have been writing my first program
using shared memory. It has been something of an "in-at-the-deep-end"
experience, to say the least. At present the shared memory contains a
few fixed-size structs, but I really need to be able to store more
complex variable-sized data in there. So the next task is to work out
how to store C++ objects, and if possible STL containers, in this

Hi,
in my program, I have to sort containers of objects which can be 2000
items big in some cases. Since STL containers are based around copying
and since I need to sort these containers quite frequently, I thought
it'd be a better idea to manage additional containers which are
initialized with pointers to the objects in the primary containers and
sort those (only pointers have to be copied around then).
However, that also means if I...

Hi,
I was wondering, since STL containers are based around copying, whether
it's a good idea to use reference counted smart pointers, such as
boost::shared_ptr in STL containers.
I can't store the objects directly in a container, because they must
not be duplicated, so I have to use pointers. I'm just not certain about
using raw pointers or some kind of smart pointer.
Regards,

Just out of curiosity:
When would using std::list be more efficient / effective than using
other containers such as vector, deque, etc?
As far as I'm aware, list doesn't appear to be specialized for
anything.
Thanks,
Josh McFarlane

Hello,
I have problem that when I use std::list<MyClassand then store
various subclasses of MyClass in that list (or any other STL container)
the instances get sliced.
I have read FAQ: ' What is a "virtual constructor"?', but I
miss information if there is some "workaround" when using STL
containers, since I can't change them to call clone() instead of copy
constructor.

Just a simple theoritical question to the experts.
What was the rationale behind making STL containers follow copy
semantics rather than reference semantics. References almost always
make things easier without much of overhead. Then why not reference ?
Thanks

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
