a queue of references

[chrisben]

Assuming I have a stl Queue like this

MyClass
queue<MyClass&>

I used queue<MyClass*> before, and I am wondering whether it is possible to use
queue<MyClass&>

And it seems I have issues on the call of MyClass c = queue.front();

Thanks

you can't store references, references are just a way of passing data into a function. Pointers ftw. If you have a list of pointers to MyClass objects, you cant do

MyClass c = queue.front();

as c is an instance of the MyClass object, but queue.front() returns a pointer to a MyClass object.

MyClass * c = queue.front();

will work, and gives you a pointer, c, to the first object in the list.
