Are you sure? In the following code fragment:

list::iterator itr;
list mylist;
for(itr = mylist.begin(); itr != mylist.end(); ++itr) {
// delete the last elemant in the list
}

What happens to the "itr != mylist.end()" test?

BTW, I'm not being smart, I don't know, but suspect
that it is highly compiler dependent.
