Delete auto pointer from QMultiMap

[phillip_Qt]

HI all
My problem is that in side QMultiMAp i ve passed auto ionter like below.

QMultiMap<qint32, IAutoPtr>::iterator iter = NULL;

while im trying to delete the IAutoPtr like

delete iter.value(); its showing error "argument given to `delete', expected pointer"

IautoPtr is an auto pointer.

Can any body help me?

Thank you all.

Which auto pointer class do you use? Is it std::auto_ptr?

ya its std::auto_ptr

ya its std::auto_ptr

auto_ptr inside container classes (http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/20_util/howto.html#2):

Never ever use a container of auto_ptr objects. The standard says that "undefined" behavior is the result, but it is guaranteed to be messy.

What is the reason of using an auto pointer in the map?
