    You probably need something like the following: (Sample for a 3-items array)

    auto_ptr<Foo> pi[3]={auto_ptr<Foo>(new Foo), auto_ptr<Foo>(new Foo), auto_ptr<Foo>(new Foo)};

    :)

    Thanks CPallini, Do we have any ways to saving typing? regards, George

      Yes: employ someone and let he/she do the job for you. :-D

        Thanks CPallini, I believe it is a limitation for initialization approach for auto_ptr array. :-) regards, George

          That applies to all arrays initialization. Actually I dont know if there is a smarter way to do it. :)

            No CPallini, For a normal array, we can declare/initialize in the simple way, saving type work. Right?

            int array[20] = {100}; // initialize at the same time, assign all elements to 100

            regards, George

              No George. You are wrong. Your code

              int array[20] = {100};

              initializes only the first element of the array (please make a test). You can indeed apply the same syntax to an auto_ptr array. :)

                  Hi led mike, int is just used for demo purpose. You can use user defined data types, like class Foo. How to define an array of auto_ptr and initialization at the same time? regards, George

                  ankita patel has given you again the answer I gave you because it is the correct answer. Who cares how to do something that shouldn't be done. I recommend you stop wasting your time with all this deep diving into subtle mechanics of something just to find the answer. Start studying Design Patterns and learn about designing maintainable flexible software. When you run into a specific situation within a real context not an imagined one, then you take the time to go deep. Until then it's a giant waste of time trying to figure out something that you will never use. Don't you think?

                    Hi _AnShUmAn_, It is not correct code. Because the destructor of auto_ptr will use delete other than delete[]. And it will lead to memory leak. Any ideas or comments? regards, George

                    Use Boost's scoped_array[^].

                        Good resource, Steve! Unfortunately, in current project, I have to use MSVC, and it does not support shared_ptr. :-) regards, George
