Return value of std::map::erase()

[Marcin Kaliciñski]

Hi,

map::erase(iterator) and map::erase(iterator, iterator). In STL shipped with
MSVC return value of these functions is iterator. In gcc 3.3 it is void.
Which one is conforming?

cheers,
Marcin

The standard says gcc, however in
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html, point 130,
it looks like this will be changed in the standard soon (assuming it
passes a committee meeting), so perhaps MSVC is just deciding to
implement the (quite reasonable) fix a bit early
