boost shared_ptr problem

Heres my code:

Code:

---

class sockclass {
};
class someclass : public sockclass {
};

typedef boost::shared_ptr<sockclass> sockclass_ptr;

void somefunc() {
        list <sockclass_ptr> sockets;

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                sockets.push_back( sockclass_ptr(new someclass()) );

        list <sockclass_ptr>::iterator p;
        for (p = sockets.begin(); p != sockets.end(); p++) {
                cout << "data: " << endl;
               
                /*
                now if i want access to element in sockclass with p->
                i get error: element is not a member of 'boost::shared_ptr<T>
                */
        }

}

---

Please help me, what am I doing wrong?

I think (*p)->? would work, iterators are pointers and the list values are pointers aswell.

Hey, that works.. Thanks a lot

One more thing.. What would be the right way to get member from someclass with p (using this boost shared ptr)?

Thanks again

someclass cannot be accessed from sockclass but it can be done the other way around.
change your code to use someclass instead:

Code:

---

list <someclass_ptr> sockets;

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        sockets.push_back( someclass_ptr(new someclass()) );

list <someclass_ptr>::iterator p;

Can I access element in sockclass too with that code?

I want to be able to access elements in both classes with one pointer (p)..

Also is this the right approach?

yes and yes.
