Hello List,

I have defined a multi_index container, but I am not able to populate the container. Is there something that I have missed?

struct element { [...] };

typedef boost::multi_index_container< element, [...] > matrix_t;

Then I define:

matrix_t m; element e(1,2,3); m.insert <-- not valid

The correct syntax is m.insert(e); The following complete program compiles succesfully, code is identical to yours except that I used boost::uint8_t instead of std::uint8_t, which does not exist in my platform: #include #include #include #include using namespace boost::multi_index; struct element{ element( boost::uint8_t x, boost::uint8_t y, boost::uint8_t z ) : x(x),y(y),z(z) {}; boost::uint8_t x,y,z; }; typedef multi_index_container< element, indexed_by< ordered_non_unique< member >, ordered_non_unique< member >, ordered_unique< member > >

matrix_t;

int main() { matrix_t m; element e(1,2,3); m.insert(e); } HTH, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
