vector push_back

class object {

object (string t, string n, int p)
}
object item("string1", "string2",5 );
vector<object *> list;
item.push_back( item);

Why it happened ?

I am assuming that item.push_back( item) is supposed to be list.push_back( item), right?
In that case, notice that item is of type object, whereas the vector holds pointers to objects. You may have intended to do list.push_back( &item).
