clearing a vector of pointers [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use for_each :

std::vector v;

template
struct deleter : std::unary_function
{
  void operator() (const T *ptr) const
  {
    delete ptr;
  }
};

// call deleter for each element , freeing them
std::for_each (v.begin (), v.end (), deleter ());
v.clear ();
