ATL / WTL / STL

• For a simple lookup table, a map would be the preferred container, rather than use a vector of structures:

#include <map>

typedef std::map<double, double> NewPriceLookup;

void x()
{
   double oldprice = 15.0;
   NewPriceLookup npLookup;
   npLookup.insert(std::make_pair(10.0, 12.0));
   npLookup.insert(std::make_pair(12.0, 14.5));
   npLookup.insert(std::make_pair(15.0, 17.0));
   npLookup.insert(std::make_pair(22.0, 26.0));
   npLookup.insert(std::make_pair(30.0, 35.0));
   NewPriceLookup::const_iterator it = npLookup.find(oldprice);
}

If you want to initialise a map, you can use Boost.Assign[^].

• operator() in function objects should generally be defined to take arguments (especially structs/classes) by const reference rather than by value - it minimizes copying. Also, operator() should in general be const-qualified - it's all part of const-correctness.

I will also look into Boost libraries once I have a bit more confidence in STL itself.

I wanted to write a browser plugin. In Firefox, I could simply write some javascript with XUL to get things to work. In Internet Explorer, from my online searching, it seems that I have to write ATL code if I want a toolbar with buttons (Explorer Band)?

Now writing Javascript for one and ATL for other seems like a lot of repeatation. I would like to use Javascript for both. Is it possible to simply write a toolbar in ATL and call some javascript code for the toolbar buttons to manipulate window elements? If so, how can I call the Javascript from ATL?

I think that method insert is not very efficient (am I right?);
what if I use copy in ?

std::vector<t> vec1;<br />
std::vector<t> vec2;<br />
<br />
std::copy(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(), std::back_inserter(vec2));</t></t>
