Keeping smart pointers in a dynamic array.

[VCSharp007]

Hi, Please suggest a method to keep an array of smart pointers(IXMLDOMElementPtr) in an dynamic array. Can we use any built-in collection classes for this purpose? Please help by giving the best method. Thanx in advance

Engineering is the effort !

Actually, in general COM smart pointers can't be used in STL collections without adaption as they overide operator &.

So, any other solution? How to adapt STL collections for keeping smart pointers.

In ATL you use the CAdapt class. Or you can use smart pointers that don't overload operator &. Another alternative would be to create or use collections that use similar techniques to Boost's addressof[^] template (or use it).
