This code:

#include 
using namespace std;

int created = 0, destroyed = 0;

struct S
{
    S()
    {
        ++created;
    }
    S(const S & s ) {
        ++created;
    }
    ~S()
    {
        ++destroyed;
    }
};

int main()
{
    {
        std::vector vec;
        vec.reserve(50);
    }

    std::cout << "Created:\t"   << created   << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Destroyed:\t" << destroyed << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

has exactly the output you want - I'm not sure what your question is.
