whats the return types of erase function?????
this is what the reference saysCode:#include <map> void erase( iterator pos ); void erase( iterator start, iterator end ); size_type erase( const key_type& key );
but in the book i'm reading it says that there's also a version which returns an iterator that points to the entry beyond the entry that was removed....
the book is Beginning Visual C++ 2008
im using Visual Studio 2005;
whats wrong here?
Such a version of erase() exists for the sequential containers, e.g., std::vector.

The standard library only lists those same 3. Perhaps Microsoft has added another.

Well i defined a map container and applied teh scop3 resolution operator and then i selected the erase, what I saw there were 4 versions of erase, so microsoft have added this, and my code will b non standard if i used this right?
The bottom line is if you can get around it, do so, as the Standard functions are portable.
visual C++ also supports standard c++ doesnt it?
then why the **** it shows a non standard function
Microsoft is really ........
Hey is there any option that supports only Standard code in Visual C++?

They implemented it because it would be useful, I assume, and that their compiler would be the sole tool used in a C++ project is not an unreasonable assumption. Compiler vendors can do these things without violating the Standard.
For stricter compilation you can change your project properties. C/C++ -> Language -> Disable Language Extensions.
Logically, if intellisense only shows what is standard, then it will not show you anything about your own code. I suppose they could have made it only show only the standard parts of standard library components, but then what about cases where the user deliberately wants to use extensions to the standard library?
You can disable language extensions, but we are talking about an extension to the standard library, so I am not sure if it will have any effect.
That said, I note that if you are traversing a map to erase elements having a version of erase() that returns an iterator is actually useful. You could always write your own free function version that does the same.

The C++ Standard Library book addressed this lack of functionality of map::erase not returning an iterator, and even shows a workaround. So, Microsoft was not really out of bounds, IMHO, providing the extension.

Allow me to introduce you to Microsoft. Manzoor? Microsoft. Microsoft? Manzoor. Now, you guys get some drinks and have a chat.
