Having an operator<() would work, but not be as convenient as an ID. In my simple thread.ID -> object* sample I would have to change it to thread* -> object* and add the dereference ops accordingly. So I would still prefer the ID, it's just cleaner and easier to understand. -- grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 102708583@icq _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
