STL vector usage tips and problems

Today I program using STL vector,and find some characteristics of vector.

To initiate a vector by another vector after declaration, there are two ways.

1, vector<int> m;

vector<int> n;

m.assign(n.begin(),n.end());

2, m=vector<int>(n);

 

Do not push_back pointers to a vector. A pointer can not be pushed into vector properly, although I don't know the reason.

run the following code, and the result verifies the ambiguity caused by pushing-back pointer into vector!

#include <vector>
using namespace std;

struct comp
{
    int a;
    int*b;
};
void main()
{
    int L=5,i;
    vector<int> m,n;
    vector<comp> dx;
    comp xx;
    for(i=0;i<5;++i)
    {
        m.push_back(i+1);
        xx.a=i;
        //xx.b=&m[i];
        dx.push_back(xx);
        dx[i].b=&m[i];
    }
    n=vector<int>(m);
    for(i=0;i<L;++i)
        printf("%d/t%d/n",m[i],*dx[i].b);
    //    getchar();
}

These are a few notes through learning and using STL vector in Visual C++ 6.0.
