#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <cstring>

typedef std::vector<short> ShortVector;

ShortVector convert(const char* charArray) {
   const size_t length = strlen(charArray);
     // the output vector is not "terminated" with
     // a zero as a c-style string is. Add one to
     // above calculation for such an effect.

   ShortVector result(length);
   std::copy(charArray,
             charArray + length,
             result.begin());
   return result;
}

int main() {

   ShortVector shortVector =
     convert("comp.lang.c++.moderated");

   std::copy(shortVector.begin(),
             shortVector.end(),
             std::ostream_iterator<short>(std::cout, " "));
   std::cout << '\n';

   // use &shortVector.front() to pass to a function
   // requiring a short* parameter
}
