How do you erase *AND CONTINUE* using a std::reverse_iterator?

Question

I\'ve been up and down stackoverflow and even the very, very nice Dr. Dobbs article but I can\'t find a definitive answer to the question.

Answer 1

Most erase() implementations I have seen return the next iterator in the sequence for exactly this kind of situation, eg:

std::list<int>::reverse_iterator it = list.rbegin();
while( it != list.rend() )
{
    int value = *it;
    if( some_cond_met_on(value) )
    {
        it = list.erase( it );
    }
    else
    {
        ++it;
    }
}

Answer 2

It should just be

std::list<int>::reverse_iterator it = list.rbegin();

while(  it != list.rend() )
{
   int value=*it;
   if( some_cond_met_on(value) )
   {     
        ++it;
        it= reverse_iterator(list.erase(it.base()); // change to this!
   }
   else
   {
     ++it;
   }
}
