Re: [Boost-users] boost::ptr_vector with const members

Josh Quigley skrev:

Hello,

I’m trying to use boost::ptr_vector with constant members, like

// Excerpt 1

boost::ptr_vector<const int> myVector;

myVector.push_back(new int(5)); //This line fails, see comment below

myVector[1] = 7; //This should fail,

I haven't spent time trying to support ptr_container<const T>, so I don't know if the fix will be easy. I'll put it on my todo list though. Note that void foo( const ptr_vector<int>& vec ) { vec[1] = 7; } fails. I'm not sure I completely understand your analogy though: shared_ptr<T> and a ptr_vector<T> are not similar types; the former is a smart pointer, the latter a container. -Thorsten
