BOOL vs. bool aside (as well as a couple methods that return NSString*
and throw NSException) I wanted to take a stab at making this particular
class more portable.
If I wrote it closer to the C++ STL spec, I could more easily use it in
other contexts while writing my larger application in Cocoa (well, Cocoa
Touch, but I guess I can't really say that).
I also wanted to learn a bit about Objective-C++.
What are the issues that involve exceptions? I find that NSExceptions I
have in my larger application still work when I poke those.
I did set up something like:
--------------------------
#include <exception>
...
try {
std::vector<BOOL> *myTestVector = new std::vector<BOOL>(numOfElements,
emptyElement);
} catch(std::bad_alloc &exc) {
NSLog(@"%@", exc.what());
}
...
delete myTestVector;
--------------------------
but I haven't pressure tested it with, say, 100 million elements to see
if it cracks.
I do run into lots of compilation errors if I don't rename all of my
Cocoa classes to *.mm. But otherwise, the application compiles fine and
I seem to be able to use all the ObjC syntax I'm used to.
I apologize if these are dumb questions. I appreciate all the advice.

If you're switching to Objective-C++ just to get std::vector, I would
strongly suggest you reconsider. There are plenty of issues regarding
ObjC++ in the legacy runtime, particularly involving exceptions. Is
there a reason you chose to make such a radical change instead of just
using CFBitVector?
