auto_ptr is very bad for stl containers.

I think one of the boost smart pointers should work.
I thought STL containers destroyed there contents
no because you cant have them in a vector.

A plethora of informationt to digest. Thanx for all the informative replies. I''m really just looking for a solution where I can have an expandable type of array that holds pointers to objects. I didn''t want to have to write a Linked List. But since where I need this code will be called a 20-50 times in every main loop iteration, I believe a vector of boost::shared_ptr will be too slow. I think i''ll have to end up using a Singlely linked list :[
template <class Seq>void tidy(Seq& container){ typename container::iterator it; for (it = container.begin(); it != container.end(); ++it) { delete *it; *it = 0; }}tidy(vlpA); // boom[edited by - fallenang3l on May 30, 2004 9:06:54 PM]
not to evangelize the act of reinventing the wheel, but writing a linked list is a good exercise 
... and besides, once you write it you can use it in any application you make in the future! and you''ll know exactly what it does

I dug this up on google, it may have a good solution.

I don''t think there will be much difference in speed between a vector of ordinary pointers and one of shared_ptr''s. Why not try it? If it''s too slow then you change it.

java.util....never mind
