A abordagem padrão sugerida por Nate Kohl, apenas usando vetor, classifica + exclusivo:
sort( vec.begin(), vec.end() );
vec.erase( unique( vec.begin(), vec.end() ), vec.end() );
não funciona para um vetor de ponteiros.
Veja atentamente este exemplo em cplusplus.com .
No exemplo deles, as "chamadas duplicatas" movidas para o final são realmente mostradas como? (valores indefinidos), porque essas "chamadas duplicatas" são ALGUMAS VEZES "elementos extras" e ALGUMAS VEZES existem "elementos ausentes" que estavam no vetor original.
Ocorre um problema ao usar std::unique()um vetor de ponteiros para objetos (vazamentos de memória, leitura incorreta de dados do HEAP, liberações duplicadas, que causam falhas de segmentação etc.).
Aqui está a minha solução para o problema: substitua std::unique()por ptgi::unique().
Veja o arquivo ptgi_unique.hpp abaixo:
// ptgi::unique()
//
// Fix a problem in std::unique(), such that none of the original elts in the collection are lost or duplicate.
// ptgi::unique() has the same interface as std::unique()
//
// There is the 2 argument version which calls the default operator== to compare elements.
//
// There is the 3 argument version, which you can pass a user defined functor for specialized comparison.
//
// ptgi::unique() is an improved version of std::unique() which doesn't looose any of the original data
// in the collection, nor does it create duplicates.
//
// After ptgi::unique(), every old element in the original collection is still present in the re-ordered collection,
// except that duplicates have been moved to a contiguous range [dupPosition, last) at the end.
//
// Thus on output:
// [begin, dupPosition) range are unique elements.
// [dupPosition, last) range are duplicates which can be removed.
// where:
// [] means inclusive, and
// () means exclusive.
//
// In the original std::unique() non-duplicates at end are moved downward toward beginning.
// In the improved ptgi:unique(), non-duplicates at end are swapped with duplicates near beginning.
//
// In addition if you have a collection of ptrs to objects, the regular std::unique() will loose memory,
// and can possibly delete the same pointer multiple times (leading to SEGMENTATION VIOLATION on Linux machines)
// but ptgi::unique() won't. Use valgrind(1) to find such memory leak problems!!!
//
// NOTE: IF you have a vector of pointers, that is, std::vector<Object*>, then upon return from ptgi::unique()
// you would normally do the following to get rid of the duplicate objects in the HEAP:
//
// // delete objects from HEAP
// std::vector<Object*> objects;
// for (iter = dupPosition; iter != objects.end(); ++iter)
// {
// delete (*iter);
// }
//
// // shrink the vector. But Object * pointers are NOT followed for duplicate deletes, this shrinks the vector.size())
// objects.erase(dupPosition, objects.end));
//
// NOTE: But if you have a vector of objects, that is: std::vector<Object>, then upon return from ptgi::unique(), it
// suffices to just call vector:erase(, as erase will automatically call delete on each object in the
// [dupPosition, end) range for you:
//
// std::vector<Object> objects;
// objects.erase(dupPosition, last);
//
//==========================================================================================================
// Example of differences between std::unique() vs ptgi::unique().
//
// Given:
// int data[] = {10, 11, 21};
//
// Given this functor: ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen:
// A functor which compares two integers a[i] and a[j] in an int a[] array, after division by 10:
//
// // given an int data[] array, remove consecutive duplicates from it.
// // functor used for std::unique (BUGGY) or ptgi::unique(IMPROVED)
//
// // Two numbers equal if, when divided by 10 (integer division), the quotients are the same.
// // Hence 50..59 are equal, 60..69 are equal, etc.
// struct ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen: public std::equal_to<int>
// {
// bool operator() (const int& arg1, const int& arg2) const
// {
// return ((arg1/10) == (arg2/10));
// }
// };
//
// Now, if we call (problematic) std::unique( data, data+3, ArrayOfIntegersEqualByTen() );
//
// TEST1: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,11,21
// TEST1: AFTER UNIQ: 10,21,21
// DUP_INX=2
//
// PROBLEM: 11 is lost, and extra 21 has been added.
//
// More complicated example:
//
// TEST2: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,20,21,22,30,31,23,24,11
// TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,23,24,11
// DUP_INX=5
//
// Problem: 21 and 22 are deleted.
// Problem: 11 and 23 are duplicated.
//
//
// NOW if ptgi::unique is called instead of std::unique, both problems go away:
//
// DEBUG: TEST1: NEW_WAY=1
// TEST1: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,11,21
// TEST1: AFTER UNIQ: 10,21,11
// DUP_INX=2
//
// DEBUG: TEST2: NEW_WAY=1
// TEST2: BEFORE UNIQ: 10,20,21,22,30,31,23,24,11
// TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,22,24,21
// DUP_INX=5
//
// @SEE: look at the "case study" below to understand which the last "AFTER UNIQ" results with that order:
// TEST2: AFTER UNIQ: 10,20,30,23,11,31,22,24,21
//
//==========================================================================================================
// Case Study: how ptgi::unique() works:
// Remember we "remove adjacent duplicates".
// In this example, the input is NOT fully sorted when ptgi:unique() is called.
//
// I put | separatators, BEFORE UNIQ to illustrate this
// 10 | 20,21,22 | 30,31 | 23,24 | 11
//
// In example above, 20, 21, 22 are "same" since dividing by 10 gives 2 quotient.
// And 30,31 are "same", since /10 quotient is 3.
// And 23, 24 are same, since /10 quotient is 2.
// And 11 is "group of one" by itself.
// So there are 5 groups, but the 4th group (23, 24) happens to be equal to group 2 (20, 21, 22)
// So there are 5 groups, and the 5th group (11) is equal to group 1 (10)
//
// R = result
// F = first
//
// 10, 20, 21, 22, 30, 31, 23, 24, 11
// R F
//
// 10 is result, and first points to 20, and R != F (10 != 20) so bump R:
// R
// F
//
// Now we hits the "optimized out swap logic".
// (avoid swap because R == F)
//
// // now bump F until R != F (integer division by 10)
// 10, 20, 21, 22, 30, 31, 23, 24, 11
// R F // 20 == 21 in 10x
// R F // 20 == 22 in 10x
// R F // 20 != 30, so we do a swap of ++R and F
// (Now first hits 21, 22, then finally 30, which is different than R, so we swap bump R to 21 and swap with 30)
// 10, 20, 30, 22, 21, 31, 23, 24, 11 // after R & F swap (21 and 30)
// R F
//
// 10, 20, 30, 22, 21, 31, 23, 24, 11
// R F // bump F to 31, but R and F are same (30 vs 31)
// R F // bump F to 23, R != F, so swap ++R with F
// 10, 20, 30, 22, 21, 31, 23, 24, 11
// R F // bump R to 22
// 10, 20, 30, 23, 21, 31, 22, 24, 11 // after the R & F swap (22 & 23 swap)
// R F // will swap 22 and 23
// R F // bump F to 24, but R and F are same in 10x
// R F // bump F, R != F, so swap ++R with F
// R F // R and F are diff, so swap ++R with F (21 and 11)
// 10, 20, 30, 23, 11, 31, 22, 24, 21
// R F // aftter swap of old 21 and 11
// R F // F now at last(), so loop terminates
// R F // bump R by 1 to point to dupPostion (first duplicate in range)
//
// return R which now points to 31

E aqui está o programa UNIT Test que eu usei para testá-lo:

// from both a vector<Integer> (test1()) and vector<Integer*> (test2).
// Run this with valgrind(1).

// In test2(), IF we use the call to std::unique(), we get this problem:
