Why not store as the value both they value and the key

struct
{
int key;
int value;
} KeyValuePair;

std::map<int, KeyValuePair> mymap;

Then you can search through the map (although not as fast) by eithe the key or value.

You can already do a linear search for values. Why add the key to the data set?

You can always to this:

template <typename key_t, typename value_t>
class bidir_map {
	typedef map<key_t, value_t>	key_to_value_map;
	typedef map<value_t, key_t>	value_to_key_map;

	key_to_value_map	key_map;
	value_to_key_map	value_map;
 
	/* Implement map-interface here which manipulate
  	   key_map and value_map accordingly during inserts
	   and etc. 
	 */
};

Although, this may not be the most efficient implementation in terms of size. But if your collections is small, then this may be a cheap solution.

IDL question

Hello guys,

I have an ATL project with a COM object called IJeremy it has a method called SetMsg which takes an IMessage* as an [in] param.

This object fails to compile - it tells me:
error MIDL2025 : syntax error : expecting a type specification near "IMessage"

What is the best way around to get it to work?

I have tried importing CDOSys.Idl from my IDL, however it does not compile because of many errors.

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks for the help,
Jeremy

Have you tried inserting a forward declaration for IMessage?

Yes, I did that, however, I get another error when I do that.

error MIDL2011 : unresolved type declaration : IMessage [ Parameter 'pIMessage' of Procedure 'Submit' ( Interface 'ISubmitMsg2' ) ]

'Submit' is my method
'ISubmitMsg2' is my interface

Thanks,
Jeremy.

Try moving the forward declaration of IMessage into the library block where ISubmitMsg2 is defined.

Why not pass the IUnknown* I/F and requery back for IMessage* I/F?

I would like to manage to get an IMessage* through however...

I assume that IMessage I/F is your own custom interface. You will have to import the interface definition file that provides the marshalling definition for this interface. This is created when compiling the IDL file that contains the IMessage I/F definition. Give it a try.

Jeremy,
Try making your "in" look like this
[in]BSTR param

make sure you change the prototype in header file to reflect this change and update the function on the CPP file also.

let me know if this helps

in your code after you get the message that the container is returning to you, you will need to do something like this:

STDMETHODIMP CJeremy::SetMsg(BSTR param)
{
USES_CONVERSION;
LPSTR lpParam = W2A(param);
::MessageBox(NULL, lpParam, "Title", MB_OK);
return S_OK;
}

or very close to that in order to read the .

ATL based COM fire-event client ?

How can I catch a fired COM event in an ATL based NT/win2k service?
I have found only examples of clients written in VB or MFC.

A question about #define WIN32 and "sbrk"

George Ma1-Sep-02 1:13

George Ma

1-Sep-02 1:13

Hi, everyone!

Look at the source codes,

--------
/* #define WIN32 */
#ifdef WIN32
#define MORECORE wsbrk
#endif
--------

Such is the comments,

--------
WIN32 (default: undefined)
Define this on MS win (95, nt) platforms to compile in sbrk emulation.
--------

I have two questions,

1. What means WIN32? When the variable "WIN32" becomes
defined? When it is not defined?

2. What means "sbrk" in the comment? What means "wsbrk"?

Btw: the software is written for both Windows and Linux
platforms.

Cheers,
George

However my boss is asked me to hand in the
project immediately, but I am in trouble as you
see.

We are asking you not to post in multiple forums. For example, your size_t question does not belong in the ATL/WTL/STL forum. Posting in more forums will not get you an answer quicker, and it's considered impolite on the net.
