I first get an object A from the vector, then I call the erase method to destroy that object in my vector because I don't need it anymore. However, from the debugger, I found that the object A I got before calling erase method is also destroyed. I don't understand that because I thought that what I got is a copy of that object and erase method should have nothing to do with my object A.

}

}

}
}

delete val;
}
int Box::getVal()

return *val;
}
std::string Box::getName()

}
int Box::getID()
{

}
main file
using namespace std;
int main()
{
Box test;
std::vector<Box> bag;
bag.push_back(test);
Box tmp = bag[0];
bag.erase(bag.begin() + 0);
cout << tmp.getVal();
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Below is the screenshot from the debugger and because I don't have 10 reputations, I can't display it directly.
As you can see, the "type" and "val" data member of class Box is modified.
