[Dev-C++] Another newbie question about fn's returning STL containers

[Matt K. <sy...@as...>]

I'm generating a stack of custom board class objects, and was wondering 
what the proper way to do this is (this is all for a board game-- 
tic-tac-toe in this case).

What I have is a board member function called Generate_Moves that 
returns a stack of boards (ie. stack<board> ) of new possible selections.

In the calling fn, I have a passed in variable of type board called 
state and do this:

stack<board> moves;
moves = state.Generate_Moves( p ); // p is the player whose turn it is

Is this valid? Or should I be making "moves" a pointer, and then return 
a pointer to the new stack from Generate_Moves (and call delete on it 
when I'm done ? ).

I was thinking that the way I have it right now is going to lose the 
"moves" stack in memory and cause a leak because it will add another 
lost guy every time the containing fn is called....

Implementing this minimax algorithm for tic-tac-toe was so much simpler 
in LISP :(
