STL hash_set problem, SGI impl

[Timo Qvist]

Hi, I'm a bit new to STL and really new to SGI's hash_set implementation and
I've having problem
instantiating a hash_set with a custom hash function, I could really use
some help sifting through g++ (v3.3.3)
error message on this particular problem.

I want a hash_set with class pointers as the hashed type, my class is
simply called Transition, the following code
doesn't work;

using namespace __gnu_cxx;

typedef struct _HashFunc : public unary_function<Transition *, size_t > {
size_t operator()( const Transition *t ) const {
return t->getID();
}
} HashFunc;

void foo( Transition *trans ) {
hash_set< Transition *, hash<HashFunc> > my_hashset; // This far the
compiler doesn't complain...
myhashset.insert( trans ); // however, adding this instatiation causes
the following error;

}

Ok, so I've figured out that somewhere deep down in the template we try and
call the HashFunc operator() and we cant find a match,
I just cant fix the HashFunc functor with the correct types for this to
work?

Or am I missing something?

Try changing this to

size_t operator()(Transition * const & t ) const {

return t->getID();
}
} HashFunc;

void foo( Transition *trans ) {
hash_set< Transition *, hash<HashFunc> > my_hashset; // This far the

That's the type it expects to find

I guess so...
