Linked List Problem

[Paul McKenzie]

The struct used for the Linked List -->

struct Event{
     string event, date, location, time, note;
     Event *next;
     Event *last;
};

Here is an example of what I'm referring to:

#include <list>
#include <string>

struct Event
{
     std::string event, date, location, time, note;
     Event(const std::string& event_,
               const std::string& date_,
               const std::string& location_,
               const std::string& time_,
               const std::string& note_) :
             event(event_), date(date_), location(location_),
             time(time_), note(note_) { }
};

typedef std::list<Event> EventList;

int main()
{
   EventList evList;

   // add 3 events to the eventList linked list
   evList.push_back(Event("Event1", "","","",""));
   evList.push_back(Event("Event2", "","","",""));
   evList.push_back(Event("Event2", "","","",""));
}

I just added 3 Events to a linked list. I know this works correctly without even compiling or running it. Why? Because it is guaranteed to work due to usage of standard library, and not my home-made linked list which could have bugs.

No memory leaks, no pointers, no calls to new[]/delete[], nothing. You can also remove items from the linked list, sort it, etc.
