[c++] Initializing a static std::map<int, int> in C++

Just wanted to share a pure C++ 98 work around:

#include <map>

std::map<std::string, std::string> aka;

struct akaInit
{
    akaInit()
    {
        aka[ "George" ] = "John";
        aka[ "Joe" ] = "Al";
        aka[ "Phil" ] = "Sue";
        aka[ "Smitty" ] = "Yando";
    }
} AkaInit;
