STL lists and referencing
Author
Hi,
I have an STL list which holds references to a list of entities which are dynamic in my program. I am using an iterator to go through this list of items. I am trying to do the following which doesn't seem to be working
However when I call (*itor)->SetPosition it looks like instead of referencing its doing a copy so its not affecting the value at all. I suppose that its supposed to work that way. However I would like to know how to make the SetPosition to work.
Thanks

No, that isn't how the STL containers (or C++ in general) work. Your problem is elsewhere.
From what I can tell, that code should be fine.
Perhaps there is something wrong with your SetPosition function?
Finally, you know you don't need to go "this->", right?

Yes I know, I do that cos it populates the member variables and functions in vc++ so it makes it easier than going through header files when I forget the exact member variables names that are declared.

Oh my - actually the SetPosition call itself is wrong. I am sending in view.y instead of view.z. Well now I am sending in info correctly - it works.
I was wondering the same thing - it should have worked the way I was doing it the first time.
Thanks all.
