It is probably my problem, but I don't see what's wrong here :/
I'm trying to delete a specifc element in a multimap based on the key and value since the multimap can store multiple entries with the same key.
The error I get is :Code:#include <map> using namespace std; struct eqstr { bool operator()(const char* s1, const char* s2) const { return strcmp(s1, s2) == 0; } }; typedef multimap<const char*, int, eqstr> map_type; void eraseElem(const map_type& Map, const char* str, const int key) { pair<map_type::const_iterator, map_type::const_iterator> p = Map.equal_range(str); map_type::const_iterator it = p.first; while ((it != p.second) && ((*it).second != key)) { ++it; } if (it != p.second) { Map.erase(it); // <- this line doesn't compile } } int main() { map_type M; M.insert(map_type::value_type("H", 1)); M.insert(map_type::value_type("H", 2)); M.insert(map_type::value_type("C", 12)); M.insert(map_type::value_type("C", 13)); M.insert(map_type::value_type("O", 16)); M.insert(map_type::value_type("O", 17)); M.insert(map_type::value_type("O", 18)); M.insert(map_type::value_type("I", 127)); eraseElem(M, "O", 18); return 0; }
'erase' : 3 overloads have no legal conversion for 'this' pointer
I have tried it both with const_iterator and iterator. I can't really see what is wrong, since the only condition that is documented is that it is a dereferenceable iterator in Map. Or is this iterator not in Map ?
