Use std::vector in WaitForMultipleObjects()

I have an std::vector of handle objects. I have to wait on these handle objects for using in the WaitForMultipleObjects function. Since it's a vector, I am getting an error while using it in WaitForMultipleObjects:

std::vector<HANDLE> events;
// ...
WaitForMultipleObjects(events.size(), events, true, INFINITE);

Is there any way to do this?

Solution

  • Preferably, if you've got an up to date version of STL, you should use:

    WaitForMultipleObjects(events.size(), events.data(), true, INFINITE);

    With older STL's, you can use &events[0] if .data() isn't available as a method on vector.
