Question

int* HT;
int HTc = 500;
HT = new int[HTc] = {-1}; //Fill array with -1

I get the warning:

extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++0x or
=std=gnu++0x

I’ll assume this means it isn’t compatible with the ANSI standard, which my prof. is nuts for.
How else would I do this though?

Answer 1

Use std::fill. It would be better to use a std::vector than a c style array, but just for demonstration:

#include <algorithm>

int HTc = 500;
int HT[] = new int[HTc];
std::fill(HT, HT+HTc, -1);
// ...
delete[] HT;
