Vector Allocation

I am trying to allocate a vector during the default constructor of an object I have.

What I am trying to allocate is this:

Code:

vector<bin_index> m_table;

What I want is a vector of size 4 to be allocated with each slot containing an empty 'bin_index' object.
I have a default constructor for bin_index to set values to 0 but it is still not working. This is what I have tried so far:

Code:

//try number 1
bin_index bi;
m_table(4,bi);

//try number 2
m_table(4,bin_index());

//try number 3
m_table(4);

I know you can allocate a vector initially just like an array but I am having some trouble with the syntax when it includes objects. I am allocating it initially because I am implementing a hash table so I need a vector instead of an array.


Here is the basic error message I keep getting:

Code:

error: no match for call to ‘(std::vector<bin_index, std::allocator<bin_index> >) (int, bin_index&)’

I think you want to write:

Code:

vector<bin_index> m_table(4);

This works:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

struct bin_idx
{
    int idx;
    bin_idx() : idx(0) {}
};//bin_idx

int main()
{
    bin_idx bi;
    vector<bin_idx> v1(4);
    vector<bin_idx> v2(4, bi);
    vector<bin_idx> v3(4, bin_idx());

    return 0;
}//main

Post a similiar example that demonstrates your issue.

Is this what you're trying to do?

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class Object
{
public:
	Object()
	:	m_Vec(4) {}

	size_t VecSize()
	{
		return m_Vec.size();
	}

private:
	vector<string>  m_Vec;
};


int main()
{
	Object obj;
	cout << "Size = " << obj.VecSize() << endl;
	return 0;
}

Yea this is what gave me that message.

}

This is exactly what I am trying to do! But I have a vector of bin_index instead of string and it gives me that error message when I try to do this.

I will try to put together an example like Codeplug did

>> it gives me that error message when I try to do this.

Can you post the error message you get when you try that code? It should be different than the one you posted. That one looks like what you would get if you put the code in red inside the constructor instead of the initializer list. Notice that in your code example the problem is that you are attempting to call a constructor on an already constructed object.
