c++ - Passing temporary object to function -

i think called temporary object. here scenario:

i have functions:

void list<t>::remove(listiterator &) listiterator list<t>::begin() //returns iterator pointing first node in list. 

in g++ when try this:

mylist.remove(mylist.begin()) 

i following error:

no matching function call remove(listiterator).

i don't have function takes listiterator value , nor want one. i'm not sure if i'm trying makes sense. code works on windows vs2012 not in g++.

any advice on how either fix implementation or explanation of behaviour appreciated!

the results of mylist.begin() temporary (unless mylist.begin() returns reference). can't use temporary initialize non-const reference. either assign results variable, , pass remove, make reference const, or use pass value.

as why vs2012 compiles it: vs2012 isn't conform.
