[Boost-users] Using assign::map_list_of for complex types

Hello all,

I've been trying to create an initiliser for the following (paraphrased)

struct data
{
Char *str;
Vector<int> stuff;
};

map<int, struct data> mapstuff = map_list_of
(1, ("hello", list_of (3) (4) (2)),
(3, ("goodbye", list_of (1) (3) );

Etc etc

However, this doesn't work, with a very complex compile error from
assign. I've tried also...

map<int, struct data> mapstuff = map_list_of
(1, {"hello", list_of (3) (4) (2) } ),   // note curly braces 
(3, {"goodbye", list_of (1) (3) ) } );

But that doesn't work either.

Is it actually possible to do something like this, and if so, how?

James
