stl question

shouldnt it be:

list<string> clist; clist.push_back("hello");

I know deque handles the initialization of the pointer, if you were to feed it a string variable, it will create a new instance and copy the contents over, it does not just keep track of pointers . . .

but then if you say instead:

list<string *> clist; //next line should look like clist.push_back(new string("hello"));

and you should make sure you delete it before poping it too, its all really a matter of what type of variable you are using

if it''s a list of char*, it''s just copying the pointer (to the constant chain "hello" ). If it''s a list of std::string, it will construct a string object from the pointer.
