Hi everyone.
I have a small program I want to execute to test something
#include <map>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct _pos{
float xi;
float xf;
bool operator<(_pos& other){
return this->xi < other.xi;
}
};
struct _val{
float f;
};
int main()
{
map<_pos,_val> m;
struct _pos k1 = {0,10};
struct _pos k2 = {10,15};
struct _val v1 = {5.5};
struct _val v2 = {12.3};
m.insert(std::pair<_pos,_val>(k1,v1));
m.insert(std::pair<_pos,_val>(k2,v2));
return 0;
}
The problem is that when I try to compile it, I get the following error
$ g++ m2.cpp -o mtest

$
I thought that declaring the operator< on the key would solve the problem, but its still there.
What could be wrong?
Thanks in advance.
