What happens to an STL iterator after erasing it in VS, UNIX/Linux?

Question

Please consider the following scenario:

map(T,S*) & GetMap(); //Forward decleration

map(T, S*) T2pS = GetMap();

for(map(T, S*)::iterator it = T2pS.begin()         


        

Answer 1

See this:

for (i = v.begin(); i != v.end(); ) {
  //...
  if (erase_required) {
      i = v.erase(i);
  } else {
      ++i;
  }
}
