Aleksej Lebedev <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|ASSIGNED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from Aleksej Lebedev <[email protected]> --- You are probably right. It is very confusing though. Operator * doesn't really modify the iterator. It is the same way as *p doesn't modify p when p is a pointer. It is legal to do this with pointers. The following code does compile: void write_5(int *const &i) { *i = 5; } int main() { int m[2]; int *p = m; write_5(p); ++p; } The reason for iterators being treated not the same way as pointers is probably very "technical" as it is often in C++. Anyway, whatever the reason I apologize I didn't doublecheck this. Thank you. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
