C++ - How to convert char* to std::list<char>

This is a beginner type of question

I'm just wondering if there is a way to convert a null terminated char* to std::list.

Thank you

char* data = ...
std::list<char> clist = convert_chars2list(data);
...
convert_chars2list(char* somedata)
{
    //convert
}
Solution 
  • std::list<char> convert_chars2list(char *somedata)
{
    std::list<char> l;

    while(*somedata != 0)
        l.push_back(*somedata++);

    // If you want to add a terminating NULL character
    // in your list, uncomment the following statement:
    // l.push_back(0);

    return l;
}
