CGAL users discussion list

[Daniel Abler <>]

Dear List,

I would like to create a list of pointers to Polyhedron_3 objects (created in 
a loop) for later meshing via Polyhedral_mesh_domain_3, as in the following 
pseudocode:

struct K: public CGAL::Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel {};
typedef CGAL::Polyhedron_3<K>         Polyhedron;
[...]

std::list<Polyhedron*> poly_pointer_list;

for (...)
{
        [...]
        Polyhedron  cgalpoly = 
FunctionThatCreatesCgalPolyhedronFromVTKPolyData;
        poly_pointer_list.push_back(&cgalpoly);
}
 
The problem here is that &cgalpoly always points to the same address... I 
suspect this has to do with the 'copy constructor' of Polyhedron_3 or my  
'FunctionToCreateCgalPolyhedronFromVTKPolyData'.

How can I make sure that each cgalpoly created in the loop is kept in memory 
and can be addressed by an unique pointer?

Many thanks,
Daniel
