Removing item from vector while iterating?

Question

I have a vector that holds items that are either active or inactive. I want the size of this vector to stay small for performance issues, so I want items that have been mark

Answer 1

erase returns a pointer to the next iterator value (same as Vassilis):

vector <cMyClass>::iterator mit
for(mit = myVec.begin(); mit != myVec.end(); )
{   if(condition)
        mit = myVec.erase(mit);
    else
        mit++;
}

Answer 2

The most readable way I've done this in the past is to use std::vector::erase combined with std::remove_if. In the example below, I use this combination to remove any number less than 10 from a vector.

(For non-c++0x, you can just replace the lambda below with your own predicate:)

// a list of ints
int myInts[] = {1, 7, 8, 4, 5, 10, 15, 22, 50. 29};
std::vector v(myInts, myInts + sizeof(myInts) / sizeof(int));

// get rid of anything < 10
v.erase(std::remove_if(v.begin(), v.end(), 
                       [](int i) { return i < 10; }), v.end());
