std::vector foos(10); std::for_each(foos.begin(), foos.end(), _1 = shared_ptr<Foo>(new Foo));

Lambda way (according to the docs, I haven't tried it):

std::for_each( foos.begin(), foos.end(), _1 = bind( constructor< shared_ptr<Foo> >(), new_ptr<Foo>() ) );

I searched the docs but obviously missed/skipped that part ... embarrassing.

(probably leaks when new throws)

Old school way:

shared_ptr<Foo> createFoo() { return shared_ptr<Foo>( new Foo ); }

std::generate( foos.begin(), foos.end(), createFoo );

Cleaner, nicer (but one of my intentions was to finally get around to learn how to use BLL). Thanks // Johan
