Hi all,

I've just started looking at ptr_vector<> and got stuck on the following issue:

...

std::map<std::string, boost::ptr_vector<Simple> > map; map["key"].push_back(new Simple);

The problem is that no pointer container is copyable.

Note that it was a design decision to make them noncopyable. See http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/04/85005.php for the background. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
