could list's object be used with (for_each)?

[eric]

Dear advanced c++ programers:

in c++ cook book's example 4-8, it use list's object with algorithm
for_each, that can not get compiled in my
g++ compiler. Is that normal(author's fault) or my g++ side's
responsibility?
/* I get some google search, I found most of them use vector
* but in its definition , it did not forbid using list, at least
under my search capability reach so far
*/
You can get code from here.

The problem is with the function "write". Your headers evidentially
include a non-standard system function named "write", and this
overloads with your "write". The compiler doesn't know which one to
choose. You can:

1. Pick another name for your "write" function, or

2. Cast it to the correct function pointer type:


for_each(lst.begin( ), lst.end( ), (void(*)(const string&))write);

Thanks your solution
