I wonder if there is the "nicer" way of initialising a static vector than below?
class Foo
{
static std::vector<int> MyVector;
Foo()
{
if (MyVector.empty())
{
MyVector.push_back(4);
MyVector.push_back(17);
MyVector.push_back(20);
}
}
}
It's an example code :)
The values in push_back() are declared independly; not in array or something.
Edit: if it isn't possible, tell me that also :)
In C++03, the easiest way was to use a factory function:
std::vector<int> MakeVector()
{
std::vector v;
v.push_back(4);
v.push_back(17);
v.push_back(20);
return v;
}
std::vector Foo::MyVector = MakeVector(); // can be const if you like
"Return value optimisation" should mean that the array is filled in place, and not copied, if that is a concern. Alternatively, you could initialise from an array:
int a[] = {4,17,20};
std::vector Foo::MyVector(a, a + (sizeof a / sizeof a[0]));
If you don't mind using a non-standard library, you can use Boost.Assignment:
#include <boost/assign/list_of.hpp>
std::vector Foo::MyVector = boost::list_of(4,17,20);
In C++11 or later, you can use brace-initialisation:
std::vector Foo::MyVector = {4,17,20};
