Because ... how to be polite about this? No, I can't. std::set is crap. The implementation is a sorted sequence -- if you're lucky, this is a heap or a C array, and you've got O(log n) performance. But the real killer is that requirement for a std::set<T> is that T::operator< exists. Which means, for instance, that you can't have a set of complex numbers.... -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" -- Arthur C.
