含糊的map.insert在boost中

Question

I am trying to insert a values into the boost map but the call to the insert statement is ambiguous in boost map insert.

#include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp>
#include <boost/interprocess/containers/map.hpp>
#include <boost/interprocess/allocators/allocator.hpp>
#include <functional>
#include <utility>

using namespace boost::interprocess;

    int main ()
    {

    // remove earlier existing SHM
    shared_memory_object::remove("SharedMemoryName");

    // create new
    managed_shared_memory segment(create_only,"SharedMemoryName",65536);

    //Note that map<Key, MappedType>'s value_type is std::pair<const Key, MappedType>,
    //so the allocator must allocate that pair.
    typedef std::string KeyType;
    typedef map<std::string, int>  MappedType;
    typedef std::pair<const KeyType, MappedType> ValueType;

    //allocator of for the map.
    typedef allocator<ValueType, managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> ShmemAllocator;


    //Initialize the shared memory STL-compatible allocator
    ShmemAllocator alloc_inst (segment.get_segment_manager());

    //third parameter argument is the ordering function is used to compare the keys.
    typedef map<KeyType, MappedType, std::less<KeyType>, ShmemAllocator> MySHMMap;

    //offset ptr within SHM for map
    offset_ptr<MySHMMap> m_pmap = segment.construct<MySHMMap>("MySHMMapName")(std::less<std::string>(), alloc_inst);

    //Insert data in the map
           std::string my_string = "test";
            m_pmap[0].insert(std::make_pair( my_string, 0) );


    return 0;
}

The boost APIs that get called are:

    std::pair<iterator,bool> insert(const nonconst_value_type& x)
    std::pair<iterator,bool> insert(const value_type& x)
    typedef typename tree_t::value_type             value_type;
    typedef std::pair<key_type, mapped_type>        nonconst_value_type;

Error Log:

The parameters to the insert statement end up to be the same type,how could I get around this problem, any hints?

Answer 1

Right now, you create a map<string, map<string, int>> . I imagine that your intention was to create just a map<string, int> . To do that, you need a very simple fix to your code:

// typedef map<std::string, int>  MappedType;
typedef int MappedType;

As an aside, you could also write the last line of your code as:

// m_pmap[0].insert(std::make_pair( my_string, 0) );
m_pmap[0][my_string] = 0;

Updates:

As it appears that my intuition was wrong, and you did want to create a map<string, map<string, int>> , then the response is slightly different.

Note that your call is basically attempting to do this:

map<string, int> x(0);
m_pmap[0][my_string] = x;

Note that there is no constructor for map<string, int> that takes an integer. Instead, you could do any of:

m_pmap[0].insert(std::make_pair( my_string, map<std::string, int>()));
m_pmap[0].insert(std::make_pair( my_string, MappedType()));
m_pmap[0][my_string] = map<std::string, int>();
m_pmap[0][my_string] = MappedType();

You could also simply take advantage of how the map works, and do:

m_pmap[0]["us"]["abc"] = 2030;
m_pmap[0]["us"]["def"] = 1230;
