Example Boost MultiIndex Container Insertion and Iteration

Here is another easy example to get you started with boost multi index containers:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/member.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/ordered_index.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>

using boost::multi_index::multi_index_container;
using boost::multi_index::ordered_non_unique;
using boost::multi_index::ordered_unique;
using boost::multi_index::indexed_by;
using boost::multi_index::member;
using boost::multi_index::nth_index;
using boost::multi_index::get;

struct employee_entry
{
 employee_entry( const std::string& first,
   const std::string& last,
   long id):
  first_name_(first),
  last_name_(last),
  id_(id)
 {}
 std::string first_name_;
 std::string last_name_;
 long id_;
};

typedef multi_index_container<

 indexed_by<
  ordered_unique<
       member<employee_entry, std::string, &employee_entry::first_name_> 
  >, 
  ordered_non_unique<
       member<employee_entry, std::string, &employee_entry::last_name_> 
  >, 
  ordered_non_unique<
        member<employee_entry, long, &employee_entry::id_> 
  >
 >
> employee_set;
