Hi,

I'm using stl in my document class. My application has project files. In each projectfile I can have multiple source files. The pointers to these source files are stored in a map like this :


#include <string>
#include <map>

typedef std::string cstring;
typedef std::map<cstring, CSourceFile *> SourceFileMap;




In my document class I declare a member like this :

SourceFileMap m_SourceFiles;



Adding a sourcefile to this map is like this :

m_SourceFiles.insert(std::make_pair(sFileName, pSourceFile));;



I use the insert-method instead of the operator[] because the operator[] does a lot of extra object creations and destructions.

A good resource for learning stl is the Thinking in C++ pages on codeguru : http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/tic/index.shtml
