ptr_vector

[ricomoss]

It seems I have a use for ptr_vectors. I've followed the documentation here - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/stl/ptr_vecto.aspx .

When I include ptr_vector.h my IDE doesn't recognize it - although the compiler doesn't seem to complain about it (from what I can tell anyway).

Code Part 1

30:  #include "ptr_vector.h"

83:  boost::ptr_vector<MyClass::pointer> MyClassContainer;

Code Part 2

Class MyClass
{
...


    typedef MyClass* pointer;

...
}

Compile Error

83: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'ptr_vector' with no type
83: error: invalid use of '::'
83: error: expected ';' before '<' token

Any ideas what I need to do?

Edit: URL link corrected.

Looks to me like line 83 should be:

stdx::ptr_vector<MyClass::pointer> MyClassContainer;

You have it in the boost namespace.

Also, it should probably be -> stdx::ptr_vector<MyClass> MyClassContainer;

Ok, yes. For some reason I was thinking it was the Boost namespace since it dealt with Boost libraries/headers. Thanks for that catch.

yes, ptr_vector<> came from the boost.ptr_container library.
