C++: dynamically allocating a member array of structs using non-default constructor

Question

If I have:

struct a_struct
{
    int an_int;

    a_struct(int f) : an_int(f) {}
    a_struct() : an_int(0) {}
};

class a_class
{
    a_struct * my_structs;         


        

Answer 1

If using the STL is an option, you could use std::vector instead of a dynamic array.

I think that this will work:

std::vector my_structs;

my_structs.assign(10, 1);

If not, this should:

my_structs.assign(10, a_struct(1));
