Can you remove elements from a std::list while iterating through it?

Question

I\'ve got code that looks like this:

for (std::list::iterator i=items.begin();i!=items.end();i++)
{
    bool isActive = (*i)->update();
    /         


        

Answer 1

Use std::remove_if algorithm.

Edit: Work with collections should be like: 1. prepare collection. 2. process collection.

Life will be easier if you won't mix this steps.

1. std::remove_if. or list::remove_if ( if you know that you work with list and not with the TCollection )
2. std::for_each
