You mean you'd prefer to pass around (possibly large) structs? Seems a little 
excessive. Anyway, if you prefer that then this will probably also be fine 
Martin.

        ///
        typedef std::map<string, Counter> CounterList;
        ///
        CounterList counterList;

        counterList[newc] = new Counter;
