NS3 object version of std::vector?

[Quincy]

I'd like to be able pass a std::vector into an object as an attribute,
however the relevant attribute value uses a Ptr<T>, with T having a
_Ref and _Unref functions.

Is there an NS3 object that is equivalent to/child of std::vector that
I can use? I can write one very easily, but I think I shouldn't be
duplicating code if one exists already.

Thanks,

I actually just want to pass in a generic std::vector (not necessarily
a vector of Ptr) into an ns3::Object as an Attribute. (ie. something
like template <typename T, typename _Alloc> class Blah : ns3::Object,
std::vector<double, _Alloc>).

Alternatively, are there anyway I can pass in an STL container or
similar (or pointer to) as Attribute to an Object?

What I'm trying to do is to pass in a mapping between an integer (from
0 to N) and a double such that the ns3::Object can look up the value
at run time. My view is that it is more appropriate to pass in the
mapping than to pass in a Callback that looks up the mapping as the
mapping should be internal to that object, and the object may want to
change the mapping during run time.

Hi,

I had the same problem some time ago. The solution I adopted was to
create e generic Container class,
based essentially on NodeContainer, but able to add any data type:

template<typename T>
class Container : public Object

This way I can use PointerValue() to pass a Container to any
Application as attribute.
Of course there may be better solutions, but this worked for me and I
did not bother to find
something better :)

Hope it helps
