Re: STL algorithm member function problem

1. remove_if is not doing what you think it does. remove_if(b,e,pred)
returns an iterator k such that the range [b,k) contains those elements x
for which pred(x) is false. Nevertheless, no elements are actually removed
from the underlying container (you couldn't, only given the iterators. And
maybe you couldn't at all. Consider int arr[42] }

2. ptr_fun is not doing what you think it does. It is just a wrapper around
ordinary pointers to functions, so that you suddenly have the member
typedefs argument_type and result_type. The predicate you are looking for
is *ruleIter.

Correcting both, we get:

vector<string>::iterator current_end = fileList.end();
for(vector<RulePtr>::const_iterator ruleIter = m_rules.begin();
    ruleIter != m_rules.end(); ++ruleIter) {

    current_end = std::remove_if(fileList.begin(), current_end, *ruleIter);
}
