[Boost-users] boost multi-index container find method.

17 Sep 2009

      Hello Joaquin,

I have a class like below that uses mult-index container's find
method.  I have a record pattern as below initially:

Idx : 100 Flag : 5
Idx : 200 Flag : 5
Idx : 300 Flag : 5
Idx : 400 Flag : 5

I modify the flag for index 100 to 6 & take a dump, the change is OK

Idx : 100 Flag : 6
Idx : 200 Flag : 5
Idx : 300 Flag : 5
Idx : 400 Flag : 5

I modify the flag for 100 back to 5 and take a dump, which is also fine.

Idx : 100 Flag : 5
Idx : 200 Flag : 5
Idx : 300 Flag : 5
Idx : 400 Flag : 5

Now I do a find based on flag value set to 5 I get the results as below:

Idx : 200 flag : 5

While find functionally is correct in picking up the correct data, but
I am wondering why it doesnt pick the first record (100) which has the
flag value set to 5? am I missing something in the indexing definition
in the container itself?

Thanks
