Why do you say this?

class NoDefaultConstructor {
public:

Now add
v.resize(27);
after the push_back call.

Well of course that won't work, just like

NoDefaultConstructor ndc;

won't work.

Given the code from the original post:

WorkerThread *WorkerThreads[MAXTHREADS];

for ( int i=0; i<MAXTHREADS; i++ )
{
WorkerThreads[i] = new WorkerThread( TheHandlerMap );
}

Now using std::vector:

std::vector<WorkerThread*> WorkerThreads;
WorkerThreads.reserve(MAXTHREADS);

for (int i = 0; i < MAXTHREADS; ++i) {
WorkerThreads.push_back(new WorkerThread(TheHandlerMap));
}
