Linked List & Reference and/or Point :: STL
Author
Hi.
I would like to is it possible to pass a reference and/or a pointer of an element in a linked list as function parameter? For example:
either :
or
void func(int* val) { *val = 10;}std::list< int >::iterator it = someList.begin();while(it != someList.end()){ func( *it ); ++it;} or
void func(std::list<int>::iterator &val) { *val = 10;}std::list< int >::iterator it = someList.begin();while(it != someList.end()){ func( it ); ++it;}[/souce]
If you pass the iterator, you can remove the item it points to from the list. AFAIK, there is no way to do this if you pass a pointer (unless you find the element).

Nice! Thanks.
Is there an advantage to using one solution over the other?

not really, in fact it''s actually quite bad to do that because there are already fun funky things in stl sontainers that simplify the process and are somewhat more optimised, for example:
// need this for std::for_each#include <algorithm>#include <list>void func(int &val) { val = 10;}std::list< int >::iterator start = someList.begin();std::list< int >::iterator end = someList.end();std::for_each(start, end, func ); have a look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclang98/html/sample_for_each_(STL_Sample).asp
for a variety of other similar algorithmic constructs.....
