STL vector vs map erase

Question

In the STL almost all containers have an erase function. The question I have is in a vector, the erase function returns an iterator pointing to the next element in the vect

Answer 1

Just as an aside, the STL shipped with MS Visual Studio C++ (Dinkumware IIRC) provides a map implementation with an erase function returning an iterator to the next element.

They do note it's not standards conforming.
