Iterator Issue

[KL]

Well, I got through those other hurdles, but now I am stuck with trying
to get an iterator to work.

I am having a problem with trying to iterate through the STL list
container that I set up. I have the #include<list> and the using
std::list; and then a using std::list<int>::iterator; but I get an error
that says, "p3a.cpp:12: error: `std::list<int, std::allocator<int> >' is
not a namespace"

So it stops working on any iterators before I can even get to them.
Then it says they are undeclared. If I comment out the code having to
do with iterators and this one std::list<int>::iterator; part of the
code my program works so far. But I really need that iterator to see
that my list is filling up properly. Any suggestions?

I didn't want to post all the code, it is a class assignment and I would
be embarrased by the simplicity of it compared to you who are experts.
If the code is needed to help with this problem, I will be glad to post it.

As the error say... list<int> is not a namespace...

so you can only do: using std::list;
and declare the iterator with: list<int>::iterator myIterator;
or if that is to long, you can use a typedef: typedef list<int>::iterator
intListIterator;

Code snippets from my own code doing a reverse iteratorion on a list of
std::string. Not complete compilable code. Just showing syntax mostly.

#include <list>

std::list< std::string > ChatMessages;

ChatMessages.push_back( "Client Initiated..." );

for ( std::list<std::string>::reverse_iterator ri = ChatMessages.rbegin();
ri != ChatMessages.rend(); ++ri)
{
jDraw_Text(&Client.Font, 5, y, const_cast<char*>((*ri).c_str()),
jColor(255,255,255,255), Client.EmptyTexture);
...
};

change the reverse_iterator to iterator. change rbegin() to begin().
change rend() to end(). Eventhing else should stay the same.

Are yo udoing somethign like this?

( The const_cast<char*> is just because this jDraw_Text is expecting a non
const char * as a parm and I've confirmed that the function does not change
the c-style string array. I wish the developer would change the call
though )

At namespace level you can use a using declaration only for namespace
level entities. However, 'std::list<int>::iterator' is actually
referring to a member of the class template 'std::list'. Thus, you
cannot use it with a using declaration. However, you can use it with
a typedef if you need to give it a short name:

#include <list>
using std::list;
typedef std::list<int>::iterator iterator;

Note, that within a template, you might end up with a dependent
name requiring an additional 'typename' keyword. However, disregard
this statement if you are not using templates...

Thank you all for all your help. Got this submitted and now for some
well-deserved rest.
