[Boost-users] [iterator_adaptor] Accessing base class

6 Aug 2007

      I have defined an iterator adaptor called skip_iterator.  I found that I have to
write:

  skip_iterator() : skip_iterator::iterator_adaptor_(0), m(1) {}

rather than 

  skip_iterator() : iterator_adaptor_(0), m(1) {}

even though iterator_adaptor_ is a protected typedef inside iterator_adaptor. 
Will someone explain why I have to qualify the name?

Thanks,
Mark Ruzon
