Hi again,
I think I got it. I overread the "prior" in:
"t is inserted as close as possible to the position just prior to p."
To a certain degree the position described above can be seen as the position between p and its predecessor (if it exists), can't it?
No, it's more general than this: assume we've got a container with elements a1, a2, ... , an, k1, k2, ... , km, b1, b2, ... , bl where k1, ... , km are equivalent (and the rest are not equivalent to these). Put A=[a1,k1), K=[k1,b1), B=[b1,end]. Now if we insert an element equivalent to these in K using hint p, then: * if p is in A, insertion takes place before k1, * if p is in K, insertion takes place before p, * if p is in B, insertion takes place before b1.
Thus boost:multindex complies to N1780(?).
