Remove from the beginning of std vector

Question

I have a vector of the following data structure  struct Rule           int m id   -1          std  wstring name          double angle          std  vector lt Rule gt  amp  topPriorityRules    and I am erasing the first element of the vector using  topPriorityRules erase topPriorityRules begin       Is there any other good alternative for removing elements from the front of a std  vecor

Given  std  vector lt Rule gt  amp  topPriorityRules    The correct way to remove the first element of the referenced vector is   topPriorityRules erase topPriorityRules begin       which is exactly what you suggested      Looks like i need to do iterator overloading    There is no need to overload an iterator in order to erase first element of std  vector     P S  Vector  dynamic array  is probably a wrong choice of data structure if you intend to erase from the front

Two suggestions    Use std  deque instead of std  vector for better performance in your specific case and use the method std  deque  pop front    Rethink  I mean  delete  the  amp  in std  vector lt ScanRule gt  amp  topPriorityRules
