STL inside a structure (I'm stuck!)

[Sga]

I'm REALLY stuck on this:

// data
typedef struct {
  int foo;
  list<int> mylist;
} MyStructRec, *MyStruct; // MyStruct it's a pointer
 
// code
MyStruct struct = (MyStruct) malloc(sizeof(MyStructRec));
 
struct->mylist.push_back(123); // mylist is not initialized!!!
 

...How do I initialize (allocate) the STL list???
Do I have to mess with allocators?
Really, no clue.
Thanks!

Try not using malloc. Use new.

// code
MyStruct struct = new MyStructRec();
 

Also, your use of typedef is one I've only seen M$ do. I'd get out of that habbit. Or atleast use the naming convention that M$ does. It is confusing.

Thanks A LOT!
I also understood that I had some holes in my new/delete knowledge.
...Now I'm up to some code cleaning...

It is an old habit... But Linux seems to cope well with it, so...
