Example Boost MultiI ndex Container

Here is a quick example to get to you started with boost::multi_index_container. Multi_index containers enables defining containers maintaining one or more indices with different sorting and access semantics.
Here is a sample program to get you started:

#include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/member.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/hashed_index.hpp>

#include <iostream>

class CartItem{

public:

 int64_t cartItemId;
 int barcode;
 char symbol[10];        
 int64_t validityDate;     
 float price;

};


struct CartItemByCartItemIdIndexTag{};
struct CartItemByBarcodeIndexTag{};

typedef boost::multi_index_container<
 CartItem,
 boost::multi_index::indexed_by<
  boost::multi_index::hashed_unique<
   boost::multi_index::tag<CartItemByCartItemIdIndexTag>,
   boost::multi_index::member<CartItem, int64_t, &CartItem::cartItemId>
  >,
  boost::multi_index::hashed_unique<
   boost::multi_index::tag<CartItemByBarcodeIndexTag>,
   boost::multi_index::member<CartItem, int, &CartItem::barcode>  
  >
 >
> CartItemMapContainer;


typedef CartItemMapContainer::index<CartItemByCartItemIdIndexTag>::type CartItemByCartItemIdIndex;
typedef CartItemMapContainer::index<CartItemByBarcodeIndexTag>::type CartItemByBarcodeIndex;

//Global Variable
CartItemMapContainer  itemmultiIndexContainer;

void insertItem(int64_t cartItemId, int barcode){


 CartItem c;
 c.cartItemId = cartItemId;
 c.barcode = barcode;

 //Insert operation
 CartItemByCartItemIdIndex& index = itemmultiIndexContainer.get<CartItemByCartItemIdIndexTag>();

 if(!index.insert(c).second){
  std::cout << "Error inserting item";

 }
 else
  std::cout << "Insert successful\n";

}

void searchByItemId(int64_t cartItemId){

 CartItem d;
 //Find Operation by CartItemId
 CartItemByCartItemIdIndex& idx = itemmultiIndexContainer.get<CartItemByCartItemIdIndexTag>();
 CartItemByCartItemIdIndex::iterator itrb = idx.find(cartItemId);

 if(itrb == idx.end()){
  std::cout << "Look up By CartItemId failed";
  return;
 }
 else
  d = (*itrb);

 std::cout << "CartItemId:" << d.cartItemId << ", Barcode:" << d.barcode << std::endl;
}

void searchByBarcode(int barcode){

 CartItem e;
 CartItemByBarcodeIndex& indexByBarCode = itemmultiIndexContainer.get<CartItemByBarcodeIndexTag>();
 CartItemByBarcodeIndex::iterator itr = indexByBarCode.find(barcode);

 if(itr == indexByBarCode.end()){
  std::cout << "look up By BarCode failed";
  return;
 }
 else
  e = *itr;

 std::cout << "CartItemId:" << e.cartItemId << ", Barcode:" << e.barcode << std::endl;

}

int main(){

 insertItem(1,2);
 insertItem(2,4);
 insertItem(3,6);
 searchByItemId(1);
 searchByBarcode(6);


 return 0;
