Hello list, I have downloaded unordered library from the vault and plan to start using it. However, looking at the documentation, there might be issues that prevent it being useful for me. Could someone please comment on the following: If the user holds a reference (or pointer) to some element in the container (e.g. T const *p = &*it), is that reference guaranteed to remain valid after the insertion/erase of some other elements? I ask because doc says that erasing through an iterator can be O(size) - which seems to suggest that erase can lead to a rehash, invalidating iterators. This appears to contradict the iterator lifetime guarantee posited by the standard (after all, tree based containers don't rebalance after erase, do they?) Another question: any thoughts on whether it is better to use boost::hash for pointers and wstrings, or would a modification of the FNV hash included with unordered give better results? Also, I'm assuming that I can plug this library into boost-1.33.1. Many thanks Amit
