C++ style tables

Hi everybody!

The project I'm working on contains a lot of tables, which are now defined as pointer-type arrays :

Code:

typedef struct {
  string name;
  double value;
  int multiplicity;
} myParameters;

static const double just_some_parameters[] =
{
  {"one", 1.0, 1},
  {"two", 2.0, 2},
  {"three", 3.0, 1},
  {"four", 4.0, 2},
  {"five", 5.0, 3},
};

I would like to convert this to a more STL like array, but then I'll probably need a (static) function to initialize my tables ? I mean:

Code:

typedef struct {
  string name;
  double value;
  int multiplicity;
} myParameters;

static const std::vector<myParameters> = {} // will not work, of course

Any ideas of how to get rid of pointer-type arrays when using tables ?

Thanks for your answer!

Two choices:
You write code to convert your static array into the vector.
Write code to push_back(myParameters("one", 1.0, 1)) etc.

Third choice: leave this stuff as it is. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

OK, thanks !

I fully agree with that.
