vector push_back

class object {
public:
object (string t, string n, int p)
}
object item("string1","string2",5);
vector<object *> list;
item.push_back(item);

Why it happened ?

I am assuming that item.push_back(item) is supposed to be list.push_back(item), right?
In that case, notice that item is of type object, whereas the vector holds pointers to objects. You may have intended to do list.push_back(&item).
