Struct TyStruct {
ObjectTypeTheFirst first;
ObjectTypeTheSecond second;
int id;
char* name;
}
Then just make a map of hashes or ints or whatever, each to an object of
type TyStruct.
Instead of struct, make it a class with full type safety and so on.
Take care,
Sina

hmm, so I would store the pointer to an int/string/double.
I need to be able to tell what it is though, no?
