C++ - Pushing a C-String onto a Template Stack

I am sure that for most this is a very easy question. But I am writing a token recoginzer for XML in c++ and I am using a stack to make sure there are matching begining and end tags. Well my tags are c strings... 

char BeginTag[MAX];

I am trying to push that onto my template stack. But I am unsure what type to pass the stack. I have tried...

stack<char> TagStack;

But that doesn't work. I have tried a few other solutions alos but none seem to work. Can someone help me?

Solution

  • Arrays aren't assignable, so can't be used as a container value type.

    You could define a struct containing an array, though, and use that:

    struct Tag {
    char name[MAX];
};

stack<Tag> TagStack;

    Or just use a std::string for your tags.
