Re: [Boost-users] Question on multiindex erase return value

As per the erase documentation

erase method can take an iterator position as argument & if erase is successful, it returns an iterator pointing to the next item or end(). Assuming i have only one item in the container, after a successful erase, the iterator would anyway point to end(). Supposing erase failed, will it still return me end()?

How do I distinguish between a successful erase & failed erase involving iterator?

You don't. erase with an iterator always succeeds. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
