vector iterators

[grcunning]

If I have a vector

vector<int> incoming;

and I create an iterator

vector<int>::iterator in_it;

and set

 
in_it = incoming.begin();

and then erase the first member of the vector

incoming.erase(incoming.begin());

will the iterator now be automatically adjusted to the next member of the vector?

no. Your iterator would become invalid.

However, this would do the job:

in_it=incoming.erase(incoming.begin());
