Empty vector of type <stuff*>
- by bo23
I have a vector populated with objects:
std::vector<Stuff*> stuffVector;
and am trying to delete all elements of it using a cleanup function
void CleanUp()
{
for (std::vector<Stuff*>::size_type i = 0 ; i < stuffVector.size() ; i++)
{
stuffVector.erase(stuffVector.begin()+i);
}
cout << stuffVector.size() << endl;
if (stuffVector.size() == 0) cout << "Vector Emptied" << endl;
}
This always reports back with a size of however many objects are in the vector, and doesn't actually seem to delete anything at all. It's odd as a similar function works elsewhere to delete a specific object from the vector:
void DestroyStuff()
{
if (stuffVector.size() > 1)
{
for (std::vector<Stuff*>::size_type i = 0 ; i < stuffVector.size() ; i++ )
{
if(stuffVector[i]->CanDestroy())
{
stuffVector.erase (stuffVector.begin()+i);
}
}
}
}
The above works fine, but CleanUp() does not. Why might this be happening?
