How to declare a vector of unique_ptr's as class data member?

Question

I\'d like to have a vector of unique_ptr\'s as a member of a class I\'m making.

class Foo {
    [...]

private:
    vector> barList;
         


        

Answer 1

You can't use unique_ptr in vector because vector implementation strongly relies on values assign operator, which is private in unique_ptr. Use shared_ptr from boost or other smart ptr implementation from C++11.
