Boost::multiIndex container problems

29 Aug 2005

      Hi,

I'm trying to use the boost::multi_index_container to index a struct based 
on a enum and a std::string.
While I can retrive data from the container by search on the string any 
attempts to such on the enum results in a compliation error.
Anyone got any ideas as to what I need todo to get this to work :)

The compiler is MSVC++7.1
Any Help would be appricated :)

Relivaent code and errors follow:
:
namespace mi = boost::multi_index;

struct FilterCreatorDetails
    {
        FilterCreatorDetails(FileTypes id, std::string key, filtercreator 
creator) : id_(id), key_(key), creator_(creator)
        {
        }
        FilterCreatorDetails(FilterCreatorDetails const &lhs) : 
id_(lhs.id_), key_(lhs.key_), creator_(lhs.creator_)
        {
        }
        std::string key_;
        FileTypes id_;
        filtercreator creator_;

        bool operator<(FilterCreatorDetails const &lhs) const
        {
            return id_ < lhs.id_;
        };
    };

    struct key{};
    struct id{};

typedef mi::multi_index_container<
            FilterCreatorDetails,
            mi::indexed_by<
            mi::ordered_unique< mi::tag<id> , 
mi::identity<FilterCreatorDetails> >,   // orders by operator <
                mi::ordered_non_unique <mi::tag<key> , 
mi::member<FilterCreatorDetails,std::string, &FilterCreatorDetails::key_> >
            >
        > texmap_t;

// code below doesnt work, causes errors on compile when i try to use the 
'find' function
    filtercreator FilterRegister::getCreator(FileTypes val)
    {
        typedef texmap_t::index<id>::type tex_by_id;
        tex_by_id::iterator it = texturefilters->get<id>().find(val);
        return (*it).creator_;
        return filtercreator();
    }

// this function works however...

filtercreator FilterRegister::getCreator(std::string const &val)
    {
        typedef texmap_t::index<key>::type tex_by_name;

        tex_by_name::iterator it = texturefilters->get<key>().find(val);

        /*texmap_t::const_iterator val = texturefilters->find(key);*/
        return (*it).creator_;
    }
