std::map find_if condition style confusion

Question

I\'d like to use std::find_if to search for the first element in my map that has a certain value in a specific element of its value structure. I\'m a little confus

Answer 1

Building on all the answers above I cheat by using decltype with C++11 semantics.

auto beg_ = myMap.begin();
auto end_ = myMap.end();
auto it = find_if(beg_, end_,
    [&some_val](decltype(*beg_) & vt) {
        return vt.second == some_val;});
if (end_ != it) {
    auto key_found = (*it).first;
} else {
    // throw error not found.
}
