Re: Deriving from STL containers

Lint (rightly I believe) complains that deque's destructor is not
virtual. So will the following code cause any problems?

If I do not derive from Container does that stop problems?

Do I manually have to call deque's destructor from Containers to make
sure?

#include <stdexcept>
#include <deque>

class SomeClass
{

};

typedef std::deque<SomeClass *> list_t;
class Container : private list_t
{
 public:
   Container() {};
   using list_t::pop_front;

   using list_t::front;
   using list_t::empty;
   using list_t::size;
   void clear()
   {
     for(const_iterator i=begin(); i!=end(); ++i)
     {
       delete (*i);
     }
     list_t::clear();
   };
   void push_back(SomeClass * const obj)
   {
     if(size()>10)
     {
       throw std::runtime_error("much to big");
     }
     list_t::push_back(obj);
   };

   ~Container()
   {
     clear();
   }
 private:
   Container(const Container &);
   Container &operator=(const Container &);
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{
 Container container;

 for(int i=0; i<9; ++i)
 {
   container.push_back(new SomeClass());
 }

 return 0;
}
