+= on a vector without boost

Question

Is there any way to use the += operator with a vector without using boost or using a derivated class?

Eg.

somevector += 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7;

Answer 1

Not with syntax like that, no. But you could do something like this:

int tmparray[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};

somevector.insert(somevector.end(), 
                  tmparray, 
                  tmparray + (sizeof(tmparray) / sizeof(tmparray[0])));
