I'm trying to implement a new class which suppose to have an array like so:
class myclass {
OtherClass<something1, something2>* array;
....
}
I want my c'dor to create myclass with an array of size=k of OtherClass. How can I do that? Thanks!
Like this:
#include <vector>
class myclass
{
std::vector<OtherClass<something1, something2>> array;
public:
explicit myclass(std::size_t n) : array(n) { }
};
explicit ;)
If you really want to use an array, you should have something like this (not recommended):
class myclass {
OtherClass<Something1, Something2>* ptr_to;
public:
myclass(std::size_t sz): ptr_to(new OtherClass<Something1, Something2>[sz]) {}
~myclass(){ delete[] ptr_to; }
};
This poses additional problems: move semantics are not very intuitive for types with pointers inside them. A better suggestion would be to use vector, as Kerrek pointed out above.
