C++ stack memory still valid?
- by jbu
Hi all,
If I create an object on the stack and push it into a list, then the object loses scope (outside of the for loop in the example below) will the object still exist in the list? If the list still holds the object, is that data now invalid/possibly corrupt?
Please let me know, and please explain the reasoning..
Thanks,
jbu
class SomeObject{
public:
AnotherObject x;
}
//And then...
void someMethod()
{
std::list<SomeObject> my_list;
for(int i = 0; i < SOME_NUMBER; i++)
{
SomeObject tmp;
my_list.push_back(tmp);
//after the for loop iteration, tmp loses scope
}
my_list.front(); //at this point will my_list be full of valid SomeObjects or will the SomeObjects no longer be valid, even if they still point to dirty data
}
