    This

    Quote:

    procpointer->extsymcollector.insert({ exsympointer->SYMESDID, *exsympointer });

    should be instead

    procpointer->extsymcollector.insert({ exsympointer->SYMESDID(), *exsympointer });

    That gives a error of type mismatch me thinks I need a == operator inside struct esdid to tell it how to do the insert I THINK ( because ) you are the expert anytime you try to insert a type struct the insert method needs to know how to compare therefore I think compare operators I.E == , < , >

      That (probably) gives type mismatch because you declared the map this way

      map

      But you shouldn't do that. Instead you should declare it like

      map

          Did you try

          procpointer->extsymcollector.insert(std::pair(exsympointer->SYMESDID(), *exsympointer ));

          ?

            still getting type mismatch will have to look at this after work think it maybe using compare operators in the struct thank you

              But you need the values of ESDID characters as key for the map. something like this could do the trick

              struct ESDID
              {
              char c[4];
              uint32_t operator()(){return ((c[0] << 24) | (c[1] << 16) | (c[2] << 8) | c[3]); };
              };
              //..
              map m;
              //..
              syminfo s1;
              m.insert( pair(s1.symesdid(), s1) );

              The complier was screaming for < operator so I give it what wants hope this works got a clean complie

              const struct ESDID
              {
              char c[4];
              uint32_t operator()() { return ((c[0] << 24) | (c[1] << 16) | (c[2] << 8) | c[3]); };
              BOOL operator< (const ESDID x) const { return c < x.c; }

                That compiles. However it is probably NOT what you want (both the key of the map and the < operator use the address of the c array). Run

                ESDID e1, e2;
                // init e1, e2 with the same content
                e1.c[0] = e1.c[1] = e1.c[2] = e1.c[3] = 'A';
                e2.c[0] = e2.c[1] = e2.c[2] = e2.c[3] = 'A';

                cout << std::boolalpha;
                cout << "(e1 < e2) " << (e1 < e2) << "\n";
                cout << "(e2 < e1) " << (e2 < e1) << "\n";

                and watch the resulting output. Can you spot the problem? You can do something like this:

                struct ESDID
                {
                char c[4];
                // overload of the cast operator
                operator uint32_t () const { return ((c[0] << 24) | (c[1] << 16) | (c[2] << 8) | c[3]); };
                };
                //...
                syminfo s1;
                map m;
                m.insert( pair(s1.symesdid, s1) );

                Note the key of the map uses the content of the c array.

                  Alternatively you could use a union?

                  const struct ESDID
                  {
                  union
                  {
                  char c[4];
                  uint32_t i;
                  } x;
                  bool operator< (const ESDID e) const { return x.i < e.x.i; }
                  };

                      thanks richard I dont see in the map documentation when using the insert method with key of type struct '<' operator must be overloaded by the user

                        Actually there is (see std::map - cppreference.com[^]):

                        template<

                        class map;

                        As it should be, because the std::map is a sorted container.

                          The cast is used here:

                          pair(s1.symesdid, s1)

                          The compiler:

                          "Map's key must be a uint32_t, hence s1.symesdid, being an ESDID, does NOT fit. Let's see if there is a suitable cast..."

                              template<
                              class Key,
                              class T,
                              class Compare = std::less,
                              class Allocator = std::allocator>

                              class map;

                              Microsoft:

                              template ,
                              class Allocator=allocator>>
                              class map;

                              Do you see significant differences?

                                  That's, you know, just a matter of naming... BTW, you are welcome.

                                    this is just a general comment I thought MainFrame Assembler was Hard but being a C\C++ proficient coder is a very difficult skill to master as an aside just looked at the retrieval for the map class "AT" method it looks like if not found it generates an exception would of been a lot simpler if they gave back a bad return code Thank

                                      It is just as easy to catch the exception. Exceptions are another useful feature of OOP languages, and provide more flexibility than simple return codes.

                                        You might use find, to the purpose (see std::map<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::find - cppreference.com[^]).

                                          Thank you again you know I’m an assembler mail framer by birth when I post any question on IBMMAIN no matter how much research I have done I get screamed at wish IBMMAIN could be more like the codeproject thank. Time for to implement my code or actually yours
