How do you collect garbage from a vector of a class pointer?

Hello. How do you collect garbage from a vector of a class pointer (let's say, MyClass*)? Since I'm just barely starting out with STL, a really simple and easy to follow solution would be most appreciated. I'm guessing you can just go through it with an iterator and keep calling delete on the dereferenced iterator, but that doesn't sound like a very good way to do it. Thanks!

Yes, that is a way to do it. If you don't actually need to store pointers in the vector, a simpler solution is to use a vector<MyClass>. If you must store pointers, a more robust solution is to use vector<shared_ptr<MyClass>> (or vector<unique_ptr<MyClass>>, depending on your needs), but std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr are new additions to the C++ standard library and so might not be available.

Thanks much!
