STL question

[Alexander Samoilov <spike at Gambit dot Msk dot SU>]

STL experts!

Could you help me?

The following code compiles ok:
----------------------------------------------
#include <set.h>
#include <map.h>
#include <multimap.h>
#include <list.h>
#include <hash_set.h>
#include <hash_map.h>


struct ltstr {
    bool operator() (char* const s1, char* const s2) const {
	return strcmp(s1, s2) < 0;
    }
};

typedef map<char* const, int, ltstr> hmap;

inline bool cmp(pair<char* const,int> p1, pair<char* const,int> p2)
{
    return strcmp(p1.first, p2.first) != 0;
}


int main()
{
    hmap ins1, ins2, ins_diff;

    insert_iterator<hmap> ii1(ins_diff,ins_diff.begin());

    set_difference(ins1.begin(), ins1.end(),
	           ins2.begin(), ins2.end(),
		   ii1, cmp);
}
----------------------------------------------------

But if we substitute map for hash_map, the compiler refuses
to compile point-blank:

----------------------------------------------------

#include <set.h>
#include <map.h>
#include <multimap.h>
#include <list.h>
#include <hash_set.h>
#include <hash_map.h>


struct eqstr {
    bool operator() (char* const s1, char* const s2) const {
	return strcmp(s1, s2) == 0;
    }
};

typedef hash_map<char* const, int, hash<char*>, eqstr> hmap;

inline bool cmp(pair<char* const,int> p1, pair<char* const,int> p2)
{
    return strcmp(p1.first, p2.first) != 0;
}


int main()
{
    hmap ins1, ins2, ins_diff;

    insert_iterator<hmap> ii1(ins_diff,ins_diff.begin());

    set_difference(ins1.begin(), ins1.end(),
	           ins2.begin(), ins2.end(),
		   ii1, cmp);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------

with the following messages:

Could you give me some advice how to remedy the situation?

Best regards.
