Just like strcpy, and we all know how well that worked in practice. Well, the STL has a solution for that, but the header is, unfortunately, underused IME. #include <iterator> std::copy(src.begin(), src.end(), std::back_inserter(dest)); That said, I do wish there were a "InsertIterator" concept or the like which std::copy would require (and probably move the existing std::copy to std::unsafe_copy if it's deemed required still). --Ben -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
