I am new to C++ and STL. I am stuck with the following simple example of a hash set storing custom data structures:
#include <iostream>
#include <ext/hash_set>
using namespace std;
using namespace __gnu_cxx;
struct trip {
    int trip_id;
    int delta_n;
    int delta_secs;
    trip(int trip_id, int delta_n, int delta_secs){
    	this->trip_id = trip_id;
    	this->delta_n = delta_n;
    	this->delta_secs = delta_secs;
    }
};
struct hash_trip
{
    size_t operator()(const trip t)
    {
    	hash<int> H;
    	return H(t.trip_id);
    }
};
struct eq_trip
{
    bool operator()(const trip t1, const trip t2) {
    	return (t1.trip_id==t2.trip_id) &&
    	(t1.delta_n==t2.delta_n) &&
    	(t1.delta_secs==t2.delta_secs);
    }
};
int main()
{
    hash_set<trip, hash_trip, eq_trip> trips;
    trip t  = trip(3,2,-1);
    trip t1  = trip(3,2,0);
    trips.insert(t);
}
when I try to compile it, I get the following error message:

What am I doing wrong?
