That works but i think i need not mention that you better know the size
beforehand.....
(AtomList is a primitive container not as powerful as the refined STL class
std::vector<t_atom>)

like:

AtomList mylist(size);
for(int i = 0; i< size; ++i) SetFloat(mylist[i],2.718*i);
ToOutList(0,mylist);

or even more efficiently, if size is a constant

t_atom mylist[SIZE];
for(int i = 0; i< SIZE; ++i) SetFloat(mylist[i],2.718*i);
ToOutList(0,SIZE,mylist);
