STL - creating std::map key higher than double

STL - creating std::map key higher than double

[Luciano Moreira - igLnx]

THE PROBLEM:
I never created a map<> object that has a key different from embbeded 
types. When I need a different key type, I create a union joinning my 
type with a large enough embbed type. A sample:
urion {
      myObject X; // Its size is less or equal to double size;
      double real_key;
};

Well, now I need a key larger than 128 bits, because it ll have about 48 
bytes. I tryed to create a map like as:
typedef std::map<myKeyType, stItem, std::less< myKeyType > > tpList;

But, off course, the compiler advised me that "less<>" cannot compare 
"myKeyType", then I implemented a "operator<" into "myKeyType". And now 
the problem is with "iterator".

MY QUESTIONS:
Does exist a way to get a map<> with a customized key ? Should I fix the 
compiling erros, building my own objects ?

Thanks,
Luciano
