Compilation issue with the boost::assign:list_of and map_list_of

Hello,

I have added boost::assign:list_of and map_list_of in the following way in my project. The same compiles when I try to do the local testing with the folowing function:

Code:

---

#include <boost/assign.hpp>

using namespace std;

using boost::assign::list_of;

using boost::assign::map_list_of;

typedef map<string,int> value_type;
typedef map<string,value_type> map_type;

map_type someMap =
    boost::assign::list_of<map_type::value_type>
    ("ex",
        boost::assign::map_list_of
        ("ab", 1)
        ("xy", 2)
    )
;

int main()
{
}

---

But when I add as part of the Project like
In .h file:

Code:

---

typedef map<string, int> MediaType2GBR;
typedef map<string, MediaType2GBR> Subcat2MediaType2GBR;
class CPCRF : public CBaseClass
{
public:
        static std::map<std::string, PcrfMediaType_Value> m_mMapStringToPcrfMediaType;
};

---

And in the .cpp file:

Code:

---

Subcat2MediaType2GBR CPCRF::m_mServiceType2MediaType2GBR =
                boost::assign::list_of<MediaType2GBR>
                (
                  "Gold",
                  boost::assign::map_list_of
                  ("Audio", 10)
                  ("Video", 20)
                );

---

I am getting the compilation error:
/root/SVN_ROOT/../SVN_THIRDPARTY/boost/ECX_Boost_1_63_0_tag1/x86/include/boost/preprocessor/iteration/detail/local.hpp: In member function ‘boost::assign_detail::generic_list<T>& boost::assign_detail::generic_list<T>::operator()(const U&, const U0&) [with U = char [5], U0 = boost::assign_detail::generic_list<std::pair<const char*, int> >, T = std::map<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, int, std::less<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >, std::allocator<std::pair<const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, int> > >]’:

That error is unreadable. Please use code tags to post such errors.

You are not pasting all the code, so it's hard to follow. The .h contains an m_mMapStringToPcrfMediaType, while the .cpp talks about m_mServiceType2MediaType2GBR .
Can you post the correct pieces of code?
Also, post the entire error you get. I suspect that is not the entire error you are showing.

Tried to cutpaste the entire error, but codeguru is not allowing me to do so..

Sorry the .h:

Code:

---

typedef map<string, int> MediaType2GBR;
typedef map<string, MediaType2GBR> Subcat2MediaType2GBR;
class CPCRF : public CBaseClass
{
public:
        static Subcat2MediaType2GBR m_mServiceType2MediaType2GBR;
};

---

And in .cpp is:

Code:

---

Subcat2MediaType2GBR CPCRF::m_mServiceType2MediaType2GBR =
                boost::assign::list_of<MediaType2GBR>
                (
                  "Gold",
                  boost::assign::map_list_of
                  ("Audio", 10)
                  ("Video", 20)
                );

---

Instead of boost::assign::list_of<MediaType2GBR>, you should use boost::assign::list_of<map_type::value_type>

When I try the following:

Subcat2MediaType2GBR CPCRF::m_mServiceType2MediaType2GBR =
boost::assign::list_of<Subcat2MediaType2GBR::MediaType2GBR>
(
"Gold",
boost::assign::map_list_of
("Audio", 10)
("Video", 20)
);
I get the following error:
ransrc/CPCRF.cpp:86: error: ‘MediaType2GBR’ is not a member of ‘Subcat2MediaType2GBR’

Sorry my mistake.
boost::assign::list_of<Subcat2MediaType2GBR::MediaType2GBR> should be boost::assign::list_of<Subcat2MediaType2GBR::value_type>

Thanks a lot Marc, now it looks like it worked(compilation is proceeding further..hopefully finally links )

You're welcome :)
