Question

As titles says, is there a way to do something like:

typedef vector<int> ListInt;
string ListInt::GetSomeValue() { //Add method to 'ListInt'
    return "value";
}
int ListInt::SomeField; //Add field\variable to 'ListInt'

Without inheritance and etc. (To reduce compilation time)

Sorry for the short message, but I think it’s enough.

Answer 1

//ListInt.h
struct ListInt {
    vector<int> *operator->( );
    vector<int> *operator*( );
    int SomeField;
    string GetSomeValue( );
private:
    vector<int> internalvalue;
};

//ListInt.cpp
vector<int> *ListInt::operator->( ) {
    return &internalvalue;
}
vector<int> *ListInt::operator*( ) {
    return &internalvalue;
}
string ListInt::GetSomeValue( ) {
    return "value";
}

Address to SomeField as ListInt::SomeField and address to GetSomeValue as ListInt::GetSomeValue.
Example:

ListInt listInt;
listInt.SomeField = 3;
listInt.GetSomeValue( ); //Returns 'value'
listInt->push_back(2); //Use `vector<int>`'s fields.
