question:
If my purpose is initialize data from xml files and store them in the
vector, so they can be used in class B by other member functions, do
you think functionP is a viable function(will a could go away after
out of the function)?
If not, is there a better solution than using functionPt?
I read that it is not a good design to have container for pointers(C++
FAQs), but I cannot see how I can get around it in my situation.

That would work. Yes, 'a' would be terminated at the end of functionP.
Since 'v' would be containing a *copy* of 'a' you are good.
If not, is there a better solution than using functionPt?
void functionPt(){
...
A* aPt ;

You would need a vector of pointers if the objects that you create a
polymorphic. Otherwise go with functionP.

If you have polymorphic objects, store them either as smart pointers
in a vector, or use a "pointer vector" that knowns to delete the
objects when itself is going away.
Using the Boost library's reference counted pointer:
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
typedef boost::shared_p tr<AAPtr;
typedef vector<APtrAPoi nters;
APointers my_a_collection ;
my_a_collection .push_back(APtr (new SomeDecendentOf A()));
See the Boost library for their pointer vector.

Thanks Ali. Basically, when push_back is called, A's copy constructor
is triggered and there is a copy of a is made and stored in v. And
since v's scope is the class, the copy will not be destroyed as long
as the class instance is alive. please correct me if i am wrong.
Heard about boost, but never used it before. Will auto_ptr do the same
thing in this case (in case A could be polymorphic )?
thanks

Unfortunately, std::auto_ptr can not be used with standard containers
because it doesn't satisfy the requirement that the copies are
equivalent. Source auto_ptr becomes "null" when auto_ptr objects are
copied.

not really. my ~B will iterate the vector and call delete. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Below, I have a class Container that contains a vector. The vector
contains pointers to a Base class. When the Container destructor is
called, I would like to delete all the objects that the pointers in the
vector are pointing to.
It works fine, IF I comment out the destructors in Base and Inherited.
If I leave the explicit destructors in there, it seg faults. Why is
there a difference?

Hello,
I tried several books to find out the details of object
initialization. Unfortunately, I'm still confused by two specific
concepts, namely default-initialization and value-initialization. I
think default-init calls default constructor for class objects and
sets garbage values to PODs. Value-init also calls default
constructor for class objects and sets 0s to POD types. This is what
I've learned from the books (especially...
