I tried indexed_set with g++ 3.2.3 ("gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)") and it compiled all the examples. The reference docs need an "up" link (back to libs/indexed_set/doc/index.html). Your tutorial did not deal with using an index in reversed order; I think it is worth adding something showing using rbegin()/rend() (I modified basic.cpp to print ages oldest first and it worked first time :-). I found a reverse() function in sequenced.cpp: it seems you apply this to the indexed_set container, not to the index, but when I tried it on the container in basic.cpp I get a compile error. So I tried the sequenced example using rbegin/rend and it worked: tc.reverse(); std::copy(tc.begin(),tc.end(), std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout," ")); tc.reverse(); /* undo */ std::copy(tc.rbegin(),tc.rend(), std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout," ")); Can you explain the thinking behind reverse()? Is it any more/less efficient than using rbegin/rend? If not, I think it should either be dropped or extended to regular indices as well. Darren Joaquín Mª López Muñoz wrote:
