Syntax to insert elements into multimap<string, vector<pair<string, int>>>

Question

My question is how to insert some element into multimap of the form

multimap<string, vector<pair<string, int>>> someMap; //std skipped to simplify

I tried different syntaxes and i think the closest one may be this one

someMap.insert(pair<string,vector<pair<string, int>>>(someString1, vector<pair<string, int>> { pair<string, int> (someString2, someInt) }));

Unfortunately it is not working. Any tips??

Answer 1

The type of the first pair is wrong

pair<string,vector<string, int>>
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^

anyway I suggest:

multimap<string, vector<pair<string, int>>> someMap;
vector<pair<string,int>> obj;
someMap.insert(make_pair("hello", obj));

or if you insist with that syntax (verbose-mode):

  multimap<string, vector<pair<string, int>>> someMap;
  string someString2 = "hello";
  string someString1 = "world";
  int someInt = 42;
  someMap.insert(pair<string,vector<pair<string, int>>>(someString1, vector<pair<string, int>> { pair<string, int> (someString2, someInt) }));

this requires C++11.
