vector of stringstream*

[mlm]

Hi,

I believe that it should not be legal to create a vector (and array) of
stringstream since the copy constructor and assignment operators are
declared private. However, I don't understand why it shouldn't be
legal to create a vector (or array) or stringstream pointers. The
following code compiles and runs on g++, but seg faults while using the
Intel c++ compiler. Is this standard code? Which newsgroup (intel or
g++) needs to be consulted?

vector<stringstream*> ssv;

for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
ssv.push_back(new stringstream);

cout << "test1: " << test1 << endl;
cout << "test2: " << test2 << endl;

for(int i=0; i<10; i++) {
*ssv << "testing 1 2 3" << endl;
}

cout << "test1: " << test1 << endl;
cout << "test2: " << test2 << endl;

cout << ssv->str() << endl;
cout << "test1: " << test1 << endl;
cout << "test2: " << test2 << endl;
}

return 0;
}

[ btw - while debugging this problem I noticed that local variables
declared at the top of method are being overwritten. If you use the
Intel compiler, you'll start to see that test1 and test2 will contain
garabage after a few iterations through the last for loop. And this is
another question - why would anything that is happening in the last for
loop cause _anything_ to be overwritten? ]

Thanks,

Yes, it's fine.

Which newsgroup
(intel or g++) needs to be consulted?

I don't know of Intel newsgroup, but I'd contact their tech support.

"After a few"? What does that mean? Are you saying it's arbitrary and
changes from one run to another? Pin-point the moment, then look where
it happens. Step into the library code if you can (should be able to).

And this
is another question - why would anything that is happening in the
last for loop cause _anything_ to be overwritten? ]

The code is fine. What you need to try is a different implemenation
of the Standard library than the one you already have (with Intel C++).

I just tried your code on Visual C++ v8 and it was fine.

Yes, it's fine.

.... apart from the memory leaks (more precisely, object leaks).

It is legal to create an array of stringstream, for instance,
stringstream ssa[10];
