[C++-sig] operator in return false while operator == return true

[Stefan Seefeld]

  Simon,

I don't quite understand what you are trying to do. Please provide a 
little more detail. Your current mail requires far too much 
second-guessing to be useful.

OK. (Naming this class would help the discussion, though.)

OK.

This looks wrong. You iterate over 'x', but don't use it in the loop. 
May I assume that 'mydict' relates to the above map<GameObject*, Data> 
in the unnamed class ?

This suggests that 'gameobj' compares equal to the 'mydict' object, but 
that it is not itself included in the sequence returned by mydict.keys().

What type do you consider providing an operator== for ?
