Re: [Boost-Users] shared_ptr and make_indirect_iterator

From: "Richard Wolf"

Hi

I'm trying to use make_indirect_iterator on a container of shared_ptrs as follows:

[...]

int main() { list List2;

// This doesn't work for_each(make_indirect_iterator(List2.begin()), make_indirect_iterator(List2.end()), mem_fun_ref(&A::f)); }

The reason is that make_indirect_iterator tries to instantiate std::iterator_traits< shared_ptr<A> >, and this fails, because shared_ptr<A> is not an iterator. You can make the for_each work by using for_each(List2.begin(), List2.end(), boost::mem_fn(&A::f)); // in if that's what you want.
