std::map one key, two values

Question

What is the best way to map two values to one key?

ie An item with a value and bool.

Tried using:

std::map

        

Answer 1

That is indeed the correct solution. More generally, consider using std::tuple instead of std::pair for a uniform interface regardless of the number of values (as std::pair is obviously restricted to two), or boost::tuple if your compiler is too old to ship with a std:: or std::tr1:: implementation.
