Hello,
Given a C-style array (pointer + length), how would I construct a Vector from it?

Edit: To clarify, how do I wrap a Vector around it without copying the data?

Are you looking what the code like this?

#include <Core/Core.h>

using namespace Upp;


int main()
{
int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
int *p = a;
int n = 4;

Vector<int> v;
for (auto begin = p, end = p+n; begin != end; ++begin)
v << *begin;

for (int &x : v)
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}

Thanks,
This copies the elements one by one in a loop.

I was thinking is there a way to instantly (without copying) wrap a C-style array in a Vector? Since if I understand, Vector is a wrapper around C-style arrays.

It seens there is no constructor directly match the c-style array, but we can setup a function for instead

#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;

#include <Core/Core.h>
using namespace Upp;

template <typename T>
Vector<T> makeVector(T *p, int n)
{
Vector<T> v;
v.SetCount(n);
copy(p, p+n, v.begin());
return v; // Vector<T> has a move constructor, and it will be called here for high performance
}


int main()
{
int a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
for (auto &x : makeVector(a, 4))
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}

	int x[3] = { 1, 2, 3 };
	Vector<int> h;
	h.SetRange(0, SubRange(x, 3));
	DDUMP(h);
