Static Map Initialization

[utab]

Dear all,

I am wondering whether there is a way to initialize map statically;

lets say I have

map<string, vector<string> > m;

I can initialize this way,

m["key1"].push_back(value1)
m["key1"].push_back(value2)
m["key2"].push_back(value1
m["key2"].push_back(value2)
..
..
..

Is there a way like in python(I guess most of you are familiar with
tables and dictionaries)

for example: for the above map

m=[(key1 value1), (key1 value2), (key2 value1), (key2 value2) ..... ]
// This is not existent in

// C++, I know but I think

// you got what I meant.

Regards

Yes. Use an Initializer class similar to the one for std::vector found
