If you want to use the STL than you can try using a bitvector. or a vector of bools. or an array of bools.
The best is bitvector since it is specifically designed for this and will probably use less memory. I think it is declared in the algorithm header file.

This is all from mem so forgive any compile errors oversights.

The last alternative is to do it yourself with bitmasks and intergers.
