Question

I have:

void add_all_msgs(std::deque<Message>::iterator &iter);

How can I make that function “generic”, so it can take any kind of inputiterators ? I don’t really care if it’s iterating a deque,a vector or something else, as long as the iterator is iterating Message’s. – is this at all straight forward possible in c++ ?

Answer 1

template<class InputIterator>
void add_all_msgs(InputIterator iter);

Usage:

std::deque<Message> deq;
add_all_msgs(deq.begin());
