Am I supposed to be able to use boost::algorithm::is_iless (see
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boost/algorithm/is_iless.html) to create a
map with case-insensitive keys? I wonder as either it is broken in VS2005
or I do something wrong:
#include
#include <string>
#include <map>
int main()
{
std::map m;
m["test"] = 1;
}
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\xlocale(583) :
error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'unsigned char' to
'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>'
...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\xlocale(561) :
error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from
'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>' to 'unsigned char'
The assignment causes the problem. If you use insert() you get the same
compiler error. Without the assignment the code compiles fine.
