Hello, say I have two classes:
class Base{...};
class Derived : public Base{...}
I would like to do something similar to this:
std::vector<Bas e*>::iterator b;
std::vector<Der ived*>::iterato r d;
d = vector_of_deriv ed.begin();
b = *((std::vector< Base*>::iterato r*)(&d));
Am I correct that this a really stupid thing to do? Is there a better
way of going about this? Thanks for any help!

don't even bother with the d variable.
Base* b_ptr = *b;
Derived* d_ptr = dynamic_cast<De rived*>(b_ptr);
But is there a reason you need to know if it's a Base or Derived in this
situation? If so, then you probably should have two containers,
otherwise, just rely on polymorphic behavior in Base. pr**********@gm ail.com wrote:

Yes, it is really stupid thing to do! Iterators are unrelated types, so
casting between different iterators is not a good idea.
Why not just use a vector of Base*?

Here's my issue. I have a vector<Derived* >, and an interface that
takes a vector<Base*>:: iterator. Is there something as a proxy
iterator class that will do the conversion automatically?

Not easily, no. The iterators are different types.
Can't you change the vector<Derived* to a vector<Base*>?

Hi,
first hello, I am new to the list, and I guess my question will show
that clearly.
I want to use some vector operations (at the moment altivec) in
existing code. It is a raytracing-based application, and for now, I
would like to replace the operations on my data type vect3 (which is a
float array) by operations on a vector float. The vect3 is simply a
typedef to an array of floats so far.

I was running through a data structures book and I was curious if anyone could inform me of how to inherit the vector class to do a simple search and erase function. The example states:
vector_plus is a subclass of the vector class.
vector_plus has no new fields.
Define:
void erase_item(const T& item);
Here is an example of my header file:

I'm unable to use char* or string in Vector class.
I know what the problem is but unable to find a proper answer.
One solution is like I can call explicit intialization for char* or string
and perform operations for only those but unable to get how to do that.
Can someone help please.
I want Vector to work with any datatype.

Hi everyone
I am working on some code that uses colors. Until recently this code
used colors represented a tree floats (RGB format) but recently changed
so colors are now defined as spectrum. The size of the vector went from
3 (RGB) to 151 (400 nm to 700 with a sample every 2nm). The variables
are using a simple Vector class defined as follow:
template<typename T, int Depth>

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
