To enable debug iterator support, a program must be compiled with a debug version of a C run time library (see <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh(VS.80).aspx" id="ctl00_rs1_mainContentContainer_ctl01">C Run-Time Libraries</a> for more information).</p> <p>See <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa985965(VS.80).aspx" id="ctl00_rs1_mainContentContainer_ctl02">Checked Iterators</a> for more information on using iterators.</p> <p>The C++ standard describes which member functions cause iterators to a container to become invalid. Two examples are:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Erasing an element from a container causes iterators to the element to become invalid.</p> </li> <li> <p>Increasing the size of a <b>vector</b> (push or insert) causes iterators into the <b>vector</b> container become invalid.</p> </li> </ul> <p>Here, VC++ Software Engineer Stephan T. Lavavej digs into the details of <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa985982(VS.80).aspx" title="STL Iterator Debugging" target="_blank">STL Iterator Debugging</a> including its implementation, usage scenarios and interesting facts you may not find anywhere else (Channel 9 goodness). Stephan is known as STL (this is his name's acronym, by coincidence or perhaps it's simply prophetic since Stephan is a passionate advocate for STL, as you will no doubt understand after watching and listening to this conversation). Stephan also dives a bit into Secure SCL, which is part of the VC++ Safe Libraries. <br /> <br /> Stephan does not possess a marketing bone in his body as you can tell by his commentary that's weaved into his informal presentation of advanced topics. I love this. He speaks his mind freely, though with fairness, and that's the only way to be. <br /> <br /> Enjoy!</p><img src="http://channel9.msdn.com/409367/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0" height="1" width="1" alt="" />http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Going+Deep/STL-Iterator-Debugging-and-Secure-SCL/http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Going+Deep/STL-Iterator-Debugging-and-Secure-SCL/Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:28:00 GMThttp://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/7/6/3/9/0/4/STLIteratorDebugging_ch9.wmv30721http://channel9.msdn.com/409367/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0Here, VC++ Software Engineer Stephan T. Lavavej digs into the details of STL Iterator Debugging including its implementation, usage scenarios and interesting facts you may not find anywhere else (Channel 9 goodness).
