The "standard idiom" is

but doesn't that have the same problem? "i" is incremented only after
the erase is complete, when "i" is already invalid.
No, i is incremented before calling erase in the above code.
ah, that's surprising.
see, that is why i almost always write the i++ as an extra statement,
i'm never quite exactly sure what it does, and when :)
Stephan, I am sorry to question your expertise, but I wonder ... is
your reassurance based on knowledge of the language standard, or is
based on observed behaviour of C++ compilers?
It is guaranteed that i will be incremented after it is copied (I am
*assuming* call-by-value.) for use by erase(). I suspect (but do not
know) that the question of whether the increment happens before or
after the call to erase() may be implementation-defined or worse.
(This, of course, is independent of what STL says about the validity
of iterators after erase().)
