Question

Using C++ with boost. In Boost.Assign can I use the new operator with map_list_of?

For example:

std::map<int, MyObject*> objects = boost::assign::map_list_of
       (1, new MyObject())(2, new MyObject())(3, new MyObject())

If not, is there another way to do it?

Answer 1

Seems yes. This compiles fine with VS2010 & boost 1.47.

#include <boost\assign.hpp>
class MyObject{
public:
    MyObject(int i):m_i(i){}
private:
    int m_i;
};


int main (void)
{
    std::map<int, MyObject*> objects = boost::assign::map_list_of(1, new MyObject(1))(2, new MyObject(2))(3, new MyObject(3));
}
