SDL problem
Author
list particleList;
list::iterator i;
for(i=particleList.begin(); i!=particleList.end(); i++)
{
updateParticle(//pointer to s_Particle structure);
}
The problem I have is i can''t find it anywhere how to get a pointer to the element that iterator is pointing at.
1) STL not SDL 
2) If your list contains pointers to the s_Particle class, just dereference the iterator [ *i ]. If it contains just normal instances of the s_Particle class, dereference the pointer and use the address operator to pass it as a pointer [ &(*i) ].

As porthios asserted, think of a list iterator as a pointer to the templated type in the list.
list<s_Particle> particleList;list<s_Particle>::iterator i;for(i=particleList.begin(); i!=particleList.end(); i++){ updateParticle( (*i) ); }although if i were you (and i'm not...), i'd do this instead
list<s_Particle> particleList;list<s_Particle>::iterator i;for(i=particleList.begin(); i!=particleList.end(); i++){ (*i)->Update(); }[edited by - leiavoia on June 10, 2004 8:12:22 PM]
Also you should get into the habbit of preincrementing with STL wherever possible instead of post incrementing as it is more efficient with STL.
