How can I use an array as map value?

Question

I\'m trying to create a map, where the key is an int, and the value is an array as follows:

int red[3]   = {1,0,0};
int green[3] = {0,1,0};
int b

Approach using structure in C++

int MAX_DATA_PER_INSTR = 8;
//struct to hold the values. remember to write the constructor
struct InstrChar
{
  InstrChar(int in[MAX_DATA_PER_INSTR]) { 
    //c alternative is memcopy
    std::copy(in, in+MAX_DATA_PER_INSTR, data);
  }
  int data[MAX_DATA_PER_INSTR];
};

// create a key value pair 
std::map  address_instructions;
std::map ::iterator it;

// sample array, 8 elements
int xp[MAX_DATA_PER_INSTR ] = {31,4,3,4,4,3,1,2};
address_instructions.insert(std::pair(PC, xp));
it = address_instructions.find(PC);
InstrChar buf1 = it->second;
//integer pointer to the array, can be dereferenced as *p, *(p+1), ....    //*(p+7)
int *p = buf1.data;

//in case you need to print these values out. They can also be referred to as buf1.data[0], buf1.data[1], buf1.data[2]
printf("%d\n", (*p));
printf("%d\n", *(p+1));
printf("%d\n", *(p+2));
printf("%d\n", *(p+3));
printf("%d\n", *(p+4));
printf("%d\n", *(p+5));
printf("%d\n", *(p+6));
printf("%d\n", *(p+7));
