When I declare a variable of std::unordered_map<boost::any, boost::any> type, it throws annoying compile errors.
For an example, any.cc:
#include <map>
#include <boost/any.hpp>
int main() {
std::map<boost::any, boost::any> dict;
return 0;
}
Compiling above code as g++ any.cc -std=c++11 -I/usr/include/boost occurs a lot of errors like following:

But when I use boost::unordered_map rather than std, it works without any errors.
Why?
std::unordered_map uses std::hash as default hasher. There is no specialization of std::hash for boost::any. Because STanDard library does not know anything about entity from 3rd party library.
boost::unordered_map uses boost::hash as default hasher, which has specialization for types from boost library.
Solution: explicitely tell std::unordered_map to use boost::hash<boost::any> as hasher.
