Hi all,
i am a newbie to boost and hope, somebody here can give me an advice. i want to change the implementation of an existing container class in one of my projects. It is a container which for the moment is based on a very old roguewave version which should be replaced by boost. main features of this container are:
- the container is based on a hashmap.
- the key datatype can be string or int.
- the value data type can be string, int, double, time, date, the container type itself and another container type.
I thought about implementing the class based on a map container with boost:any as key and value type. is this possible? Or do you have other and even better recommendations for me? i am a bit confused about the great number of diferent containers and datastructures the boost library offers.
Thanks in advance,
Georg
