Re: C++ Template: Table Class

I'm looking for a template class that'll let me setup aribtrarily wide
tables. Something like this:
 std::table< int, int, float, int > myTable;

 iter = myTable.find( int, int, float );
Or something like that. The goal is to setup some lookup tables and reuse
the same code for each one, even though they have different numbers of
columns and different typed columns. It needs to be self-contained in the
code, so something like SQLite is out. Any ideas?

I would look at tuples for the variable part.

As far as having it in a table, you could try to use a vector and write 
your own compare function.  That way you could have:

std::vector<tuple<int, int, float, int>, compare class > ...  My syntax 
is most likely off, but you get the idea.

It as been a while since I have done any hardcore template programming 
,but maybe this will help start you down the right path.
