merry xmas everyone, and maybe santa claus or anyone of you have a helping surprise for me :o) after became acquainted with boost and boost.python i have to learn boost.multi_index now. the goal is to build a 'map' with two individual keys (a name and an identifier) per value (object of user class); nme1-idf1-valu1, nme2-idf2-valu2, nme3-idf3-valu3, ... any value should be 'directly' accessible by name or by identifier; valu1:=map[nme1], valu1:=map[idf1]. although i don't understand the documentation perfectly and i'm not familiar with templates i recognise that boost.multi_index is the perfect way :o) and i did the following: //--- cclass.hpp ----------- #ifndef _CCLASS_HPP_ #define _CCLASS_HPP_ class cClass { private: int att1; public: std::string nme; // name int idf; // identifier cClass(); cClass(std::string nme, int idf); int get_attribute(); }; typedef boost::multi_index_container < cClass, boost::multi_index::indexed_by < boost::multi_index::hashed_unique < BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(cMessage,std::string,nme) >, boost::multi_index::ordered_unique < BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(cMessage,int, idf) >

mMap;

typedef mMap::nth_index<0>::type mMapByNme; typedef mMap::nth_index<1>::type mMapByIdf; #endif //--- cclass.cpp ----------- #include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/member.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/ordered_index.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/hashed_index.hpp> #include "cclass.hpp" cClass::cClass() { this->att1=0xFF; } cClass::cClass(std::string nme, int idf) : nme(nme), idf(idf) { this->att1=idf+1; } int cClass::get_attribute() {return this->att1; } //--- main.cpp ------------- #include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/member.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/ordered_index.hpp> #include <boost/multi_index/hashed_index.hpp> #include "cclass.hpp" int main() { mapMsg locMsg; locMsg.insert( cClass("name1", 123) ); locMsg.insert( cClass("name2", 456) ); mMapByNme::iterator itrNme = locMsg.get<0>().find("name1"); mMapByIdf::iterator itrIdf = locMsg.get<1>().find(456); printf( "att1 = %d\n", itrNme->get_attribute() ); // <<<<< printf statement } //-------------------------- compiling (mingw/gcc3.4.5) this code without the printf statement works. but if i compile the whole code i get this error message: main.cpp: In function `int main()': main.cpp:33: error: passing 'const cClass' as 'this' argument of 'int cClass::get_attribute()' discards qualifiers Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 20 seconds) any hints how to solve the problem? how to encapsulate this special multi_index into a class, that fits the above description of the needed 'map'. are there possibilities to avoid the 'std::string' for the 'name' key? where are the more easier examples for C++-templates/boost newbies like me :o) ? many, many thnx, daniel _______________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!
