Question

I have reached a problem and was wondering if someone could help me please.

In one of my classes (e.g. class1) I have a

typedef boost::shared_ptr <class-one-object>

typedef std::vector<class-one-object>

In another class (e.g. class2) I need to create a vector of this again, in order to iterate through this

class-one-object

so I was trying the following

class1::ImportTableObject& table = configPtr->getTable();    
std::vector<class1::class-one-object>::const_iterator* iter = table.begin();

This was throwing the following compilation error:

cannot convret `__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<boost::shared_ptr<class1::class-one-object>*, std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<class1::class-one-object>,
 std::alloctor<boost::shared_ptr<class1::class-one-object> > > to '__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const class1::class-one-object*, std::vector<class1::class-one-object>

etc etc

Can anyone help me please?

thank you in advance

Answer 1

begin doesn’t return a pointer to an iterator, it returns an iterator.

std::vector<class1::class-one-object>::const_iterator iter = table.begin()

should do the trick.
