Hello *,

I try to use a multi_index container with a composite key. The container is
defined as follows:

  struct index_data
  {
    entry_header header; //has various public fields one of them is
timestamp_
    fs::entry entry;
    bool masked;
  };

  typedef size_t timestamp_t; //in reallity this type is a class, but the
error can be reproduced with this typedef as well

  timestamp_t const& timestamp(index_data const& data)
  {
    return data.header.timestamp_;
  }

  bool mask_state(index_data const& data)
  {
    return data.masked;
  }

 struct entry_data_tag {};

  typedef mi::multi_index_container
  < index_data,
    mi::indexed_by
    < mi::ordered_non_unique
      < mi::tag<entry_data_tag>
      , mi::composite_key
        < mi::global_fun<index_data const&, bool, &mask_state> //this could
be a direct member reference, but I intially used fusion::map and reduced
the problem to minimum
        , mi::global_fun<index_data const&, timestamp_t const&, &timestamp>
        >
      >
    >
  > entry_index;

  typedef entry_index::index<entry_data_tag>::type entry_data;

  void mask_all()
  {
    using namespace boost::lambda;
    entry_data& entries = pimpl_->indexed;

    entries.find(boost::make_tuple(false)); //!!!! this line results in an
error novel by gcc 4.3
  }

The error description is:
multi_index/composite_key.hpp:638: error: no match for 'operator*' in '*x'

Does anyone have some suggestions why that happens?

With Kind Regards,
Ovanes
