C++ Iterating through a vector of smart pointers

Question

i have a class that has this function:

typedef boost::shared_ptr sp_PrimShapeBase; 



class Control{
     public:
         //other function         


        

Answer 1

Don't you mean

(*i)->RenderShape(destination); 

?

i is the iterator, *i is the shared_ptr, (*i)::operator->() is the object.

Answer 2

That's because i is an iterator. Dereferencing it once gives you the smart pointer, you need to double dereference it.

(**i).RenderShape(destination);

or

(*i)->RenderShape(destination);
