Ok good. So it sounds like my concern isn't justified.
To be certain. Because of tuples I prefer this:
typedef boost::tuples::tuple<unsigned int, double> some_pair; typedef std::vector<some_pair > some_pairs;
to this: struct some_pair { unsigned int i; double d; }; typedef std::vector<some_pair > some_pairs;
Is tuples meant to be used like the first example?
Pardon me if it's just a two-dimensional example for simplicity, but why not use std::pair? Thanks,
Graham

I have been finding that the boost::tuple library is so convenient

For example, in situations where I might use a struct I am tend to prefer a tuple. Where is a good place to draw the line in situations like this? Or is this the intent to use it as often as possible?
Hah! You've seen nothin' yet :-) :-) If you want to see tuples pushed to the limits, see Boost.Fusion.
