Using an STL list with current and next iterators

General algorithm for using a "current" and a "next" iterator on an STL list, which doesn't provide a convenient next() method (random-access containers such as vector do):


std::list<Foo>::iterator currIter, nextIter;

currIter = list.begin();

while(currIter != list.end())
{
currIter->doStuff(); // do something with the curr item

nextIter = ++currIter; //advance the iter and set it to next
if(nextIter != list.end()) // still safe to use next item
{
nextIter->doStuff(); // do something with the next item
}
}


Deleting the .ncb file fixes Intellisense Crash in VS 2008 Express

Argh! Visual Studio 2008 Express was crashing every time I right-clicked on any code belonging to the C++ template class declaration I was writing for my C++ course assignment. Googling "2008 intellisense crash" turned up a link to an MSDN forum discussion about VS crash when updating intellisense, wherein one of the posters suggested deleting the .ncb file. Before launching my project for the nth time, I deleted the .ncb file. Voila! Intellisense works again.
