I have a very simplified question regarding sequenced indices in boost multi index. The code is as below:
my class stored in Link.hpp:
#include <string>
class Link {
public:
Link(std::string l,std::string r) :linkID(l),roadName(r) {}
Link() {}
std::string roadName;
std::string linkID;
};
and the main function:
#include "Link.hpp"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/member.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/ordered_index.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/sequenced_index.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/key_extractors.hpp>
using boost::multi_index::multi_index_container;
using boost::multi_index::ordered_non_unique;
using boost::multi_index::ordered_unique;
using boost::multi_index::sequenced;
using boost::multi_index::indexed_by;
using boost::multi_index::member;
typedef boost::multi_index::multi_index_container<Link,
indexed_by<sequenced<> > > Links;
int main() {
Links Ls;
Ls.insert(Link("123", "456"));
return 1;
}
the compilation, when sequenced<> is present, yields an error I don't understand. could you please help me with that?

insert
expects an iterator as first argument to specify where within the container you want to insert. It would seem multi_index_container
also have push_back
, which probably is closer to what you want.
So to insert at the beginning of the sequence:
Ls.insert( Ls.begin(), Link( "123", "456" ) );
Or at the back of it:
Ls.push_back( Link( "123", "456" ) );
