Hello,
What's the most simple way to rebuild an index? If elements change without notifying the container, would iterating from begin to end and calling modify() with no-op - do the job? (I remember there already was such a question, but can't find it.)
Hi Igor, Briefly put, there is no way to do that. The only thing that will work, though it's not officially guaranteed by the implementation, is: * Modify ONE element without using replace() or modify() (by using a const_cast, basically.) * Before doing anything else with the container (except possibly accessing their elements through previously existing iterators and/or advance those iterators around), use modify() with a no-op functor, as you suggest. But you just can't externally (with const_cast) modify a bunch of elements and then get the index to rebuild --the rebuilding machinery assumes that at most one element (the one you call modify() on) is out of place, so if other elements are shuffled as well you'll get some sort of undefined behavior: core dump, whatever.
