how do you create a vector of structs?

[dowxp]

struct account {
...
};

struct sharedmemory {
vector<account> accounts;
};

this gives an error for some reason 🙁


main.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
main.cpp:40: error: 'main(int, char**)::account' uses local type 'main(int, char**)::account'
main.cpp:40: error: trying to instantiate 'template<class _Alloc> class std::allocator'
main.cpp:40: error: template argument 2 is invalid

this is retarded. visual studio says its fine, but gcc complains. why why why :*(

I'm gonna guess that you need to substitute "struct account", or do a proper typedef.

 

[dowxp]

no, you have to put the struct in a seperate file. gcc doesn't accept local variables as templates.

vector<struct account> accounts;

OR

typedef struct account {
...
} account;

What do you mean "local variables"? I know almost nothing about c++ but the general idea of a parametrized container is that you do it with a type, not a variable. Your declaration of "struct account" was a type, not a variable, so far as I understand what you posted.
