Hi all,

Can you please tell me what is wrong with this? I do not know how to iterate thru a vector. The error is shown on the last line.

typedef boost::shared_ptr<MySillyClass> mySharedPtr; std::vector<mySharedPtr> vec;

vec.push_back( mySharedPtr(new MySillyClass("bigString")) ); vec.push_back( mySharedPtr(new MySillyClass("smallOne")) ); vec.push_back( mySharedPtr(new MySillyClass("anotherOne")) ); vec.push_back( mySharedPtr(new MySillyClass("bullShit")) );

mySharedPtr ptr2 = vec[2];

if(ptr2.use_count() > 0) { ptr2->DoSomething(); // <------- works OK }

for (std::vector<mySharedPtr>::iterator i = vec.begin(); i != vec.end(); ++i) { i->DoSomething(); // <------- gives error "DoSomething' : is not a member of 'shared_ptr<class MySillyClass>"

}

i-> refers to the thing that the iterator points to, i.e, the shared pointer. So, "i->DoSomething()" would correspond to "ptr2.DoSomething ()" in your first example. What you want, I think, is: (*i)->DoSomething(); -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software mailto:marshall@idio.com It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
