矢量副本不起作用,但手动push_back

Question

我有一个奇怪的行为,这可能是一个初学者的问题:

在类成员函数中,我试图用另一个向量替换给定的向量.

template <typename FITNESS_TYPE>
void BaseManager<FITNESS_TYPE>::replacePopulation (
typename Population<FITNESS_TYPE>::chromosome_container replacementPopulation)
{
    _population.getChromosomes().clear();

   //This inserts the contents of replacementPopulation into _population.getChromosomes()
    for (
          typename Population<FITNESS_TYPE>::chromosome_container::iterator 
          it  = replacementPopulation.begin();
          it != replacementPopulation.end();
          ++it)
          {
             _population.getChromosomes().push_back(*it);
          }


    //But this does nothing...
     std::copy(replacementPopulation.begin(),replacementPopulation.end(), _population.getChromosomes().begin());


     for (typename Population<FITNESS_TYPE>::chromosome_container::iterator it = _population.getChromosomes().begin(); it!=_population.getChromosomes().end(); ++it)
     {
         std::cout << "CHROM: " << **it << std::endl;
     }
}

相应的getChromosomes()getter如下:

template <typename FITNESS_TYPE>
class Population : public printable {
public:
    typedef typename std::vector<Chromosome::BaseChromosome<FITNESS_TYPE>* > chromosome_container;
    typedef typename chromosome_container::const_iterator const_it;
    typedef typename chromosome_container::iterator it;
    const chromosome_container& getChromosomes() const { return _chromosomes; }
    chromosome_container& getChromosomes() { return _chromosomes; }
private:
    chromosome_container _chromosomes;
};

我糊涂了.为什么副本不像for循环那样工作？

push_back调整向量的大小,而写入begin()和后面的内容假定空间已经存在.你想要的是这样的:

std::copy(replacementPopulation.begin(),
          replacementPopulation.end  (),
          std::back_inserter(_population.getChromosomes()));

#include <iterator>得到back_inserter.

从本质上讲,std::back_inserter是一个迭代器,push_back每当有东西写入它时就会执行.
