Hi,

I have a very old piece of code which supposedly comes from OS/2. It looks
like this:

class indexTable:std::multimap<Type1,Type2>
{

};

Later there is a piece of code like this:

indexTable t;
indexTable::Cursor c;

Now the compiler complains it can't find Cursor.

indexTable doesn't define any members so I assume Cursor must come from
multimap. The multimap documentation I have doesn't mention Cursor, but
since the code is very old, it might be that some older implementations
defined it.

Does anybody know more about this?

Thanks

I don't know about what used to be, but AFAIR, the library _never_
contained classes named starting with a capital letter.
