c++ - How to make a list of share_ptr? -

i facing design issue summarized following class: linked list of shared buffer linking element sharedbuffer

class sharedbuffer : public shared_ptr<buffer> { private:     sharedbuffer    _next;      sharedbuffer(buffer* buffer) : shared_ptr<buffer>(buffer) {}     ~sharedbuffer() {          if (_next)            _next.reset();     } };  

this class wrong because references in own definition. idea. idea on making such list of shared buffer?

the short answer

you don't

there many container classes in stl. std::vector<>, std::list<> or whatever other container looking for. not roll own. please. make mistakes , time better spent working on program logic instead of debugging bad implementation of something, when implementations available free.

std::vector<std::shared_ptr<buffer>> sharedbuffers;
