Thread: stl map erase

I have this function which works fine in visual studio:

btw this is code for a c++ stl map, where map is Life and the iterator is di.

Code:

void structure::deletion_process()
{
	for (di = Life.begin(); di != Life.end(); /* nothing here */)
	{
		if (di->second.getDelete())
		{
		  di =Life.erase(di);
		}
		else
		{
		   ++di;
		}
	}
}

but when i run it in linux i get this error:
error: no match for operator=

map::erase() does not return an iterator. It returns nothing unless you call the version that erases all occurrences of a specific value, which returns a count. You've been using an implementation of erase() specific to visual studio, apparently.
