Are pointer_container's intended to be compatible with std::back_inserter? I've also tried calling insert and assign.

I've tried:

#include

#include <iterator> #include <vector> #include <memory>

int main() { boost::ptr_vector<int> int_ptrs;

*std::back_inserter(int_ptrs) = new int(123); *std::back_inserter(int_ptrs) = std::auto_ptr<int>(new int(456));

std::vector ptrs(1, new int(123));

int_ptrs.insert(int_ptrs.end(), ptrs.begin(), ptrs.end());

return 0; }

Don't think the last one got through so here goes again: This complies:

int i = 1; std::vector ptrs; std::back_inserter(ptrs) = &i;

The problem is with using std::back_inserter with a pointer_container, such as ptr_vector, not with a std::vector of int pointers. Thanks, Jeff
