Re: [Boost-users] [Multi Index] Random Access Index C2247 Compile Error

Thanks very much to Steven Watanabe for getting back to me regarding my lower_bound/upper_bound question - I will take a look at equal_range() as suggested.

I have been reading around and found the random_access index. This is useful to me to find any random item in my multi_index container.

I am having a problem compiling though, I get error c2247 when I try to use the square bracket operator [] to access a randomly indexed item. The error message says that this is an inheritance issue with the protected status of the operator...

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\xmltest\xmltest\xmltestapp.cpp(899) : error C2247: 'boost::multi_index::detail::random_access_index::operator []' not accessible because 'boost::multi_index::detail::ordered_index' uses 'protected' to inherit from 'boost::multi_index::detail::random_access_index'

Are you trying to copy an index? If you store an index returned by MIC in a variable, define it as reference.
