Multimap has the important property that inserting a new element
into a multimap does not invalidate iterators that point to existing
elements. Erasing an element from a multimap also does not invalidate
any iterators, except, of course, for iterators that actually point to
the element that is being erased.
So it should look like this:
Blah::iterator iter;
for ( iter = mm.begin();iter != mm.end();)
{
if ( iter->second == something )
{
mm.erase( iter++ );
// Use post increment. This increments the iterator but
// returns a copy of the original iterator to be used by
// the erase method
}
else
{
++iter; // Use Pre Increment for efficiency.
}
}
Also see:
What happens if you call erase() on a map element while iterating from begin to end?
and
delete a specific entry in the map,but the iterator must point to the next element after the deletion
