I am getting the error from the title, when I try to execute this piece of code :
list<Part>::iterator i = bullets.end();
--i;
if (!dartCollided) {
dartCollided = true;
Part temp = &(i);
&(i) = new BrokenPart(i); //line giving the error
delete temp;
}
Could someone help me point out the error?
&(i) = new BrokenPart(i);
This says: take the address of the object i (i.e. the number of the memory slot where i is) and change it so that it is equal to this other thing on the right (which is a pointer).
That makes no sense. How can you change the address of an object? You could move the object, yes, but reading a memory address and then changing it?
