Question

I have the following map structure: map < pair < int,int >, object* > and I wish to insert into it.

How would I do it since I am trying to insert a pair and an object and I must make a pair out of this?

Should I create a new pair using make_pair() out of the pair and object that I have? If so, could you please let me know how to do this?

Answer 1

object * myObject = // get an object somehow
myMap.insert(std::make_pair(std::make_pair(1,2), myObject));

or

typedef map<pair<int, int>, object *> MapType;
object * myObject = // get an object somehow
myMap.insert(MapType::value_type(std::make_pair(1,2), myObject));
