Object container

[penny9key]

Hey guys I'm wondering what container class to use in order to be able to update my objects, I don't have to deal with deletion or memory leaks.

What I'm familiar with is vectors

and i declare it like so

class container{
vector <parent> vec1;
public:
vector <parent> add(parent &p)
{
   vec1.push_back(p);
}

}

problem is i CANNOT update my objects in the following manner, which is what I need to do? Thanks!

contact c;
parent p("blabla");
child p1 ("alabala", "trololo");
c.add(&p);
c.add (&p1);

You can use vectors.

You need to dynamically cast to a base class:

class container {
  vector<parent*> vec1;
public:
  void add(parent* p)
  {
    vec1.push_back(dynamic_cast<parent*> p);
  }
};
