[Boost-users] Declaring an iterators for std::list contain weak ptrs

3 Mar 2006

      Hello all,

I am pretty sure I am not getting something conceptually here, but can
anyone shed some light please.

I am writing a template class which contains a std::list of weak_ptr<t1>

template<typename T1>
class fred
{
private :
	typedef boost::weak_ptr<T1> MyPtr;
	typdef std::list<MyPtr> MyPtrList;

	MyPtrList MyList;

public :

	DoSomething()
	{
		MyPtrList::iterator pos;

		for (pos = MyList.begin(); pos < MyList.end(); ++pos)
		{
		...do stuff..
		}
	}
}

Now that looks fine to me, but the line where I declare the iterator fails
with a 

error: Expect ';' before 'pos'

and I don't know why - it seems fine to me.

Using boost 1.33.1 recent cross compiler to ARM.

What have I missed? I have tried direct declaration (not using the
typedefs') and get the same result.

If I put list<int>::iterator that compiles fine.
