Re: [Boost-users] [ptr_container] No insert(it, [key, ]value) in associative pointer container?

Hi, I'd like to know why there's no method 'insert' that mimicks stl's associative container's insert method that accepts an iterator that points to where the value could be placed, and the value?

Was it ptr_map you got this problem with? For some reason I forgot to add the overloads to ptr_map, but not to ptr_set.

The problem is that there is no exception-safe way to pass around pair<key,T*>. The only alternative would be to add iterator insert( iterator, ref_pair<key,T*> ). such that we can insert an element from another ptr_map. Would this be satisfactory? -Thorsten
