Question

I have this that compiles fine in VC++ 6.0

typedef std::vector<ILBCOM_FieldStruct*> FieldsVector;
FieldsVector m_coll;
FieldsVector::iterator it(&m_coll[Index-1]);
m_coll.erase(it);

I need to compile in Visual Studio C++ 2010

The error message is on the 3rd line:

error C2664: ‘std::_Vector_iterator<_Myvec>::_Vector_iterator(const
std::_Vector_iterator<_Myvec> &)’ : cannot convert parameter 1 from
‘ILBCOM_FieldStruct **’ to ‘const std::_Vector_iterator<_Myvec> &’

Do you see something wrong?

Answer 1

std::vector<T>::iterator does not have a constructor that converts from T*. It does have a copy constructor:

FieldsVector::iterator it(m_coll.begin()+Index-1);
