[Dev-C++] map function

[Erik S. <esc...@gm...>]

I'm trying to write a function with a return type of map <string,string>

my declaration looks like this:

#include <map>

map <string,string> get_degenerate{

//do stuff

}

my compiler says I need a constuctor, destructor, or type conversion  
before operator "<"

any help?
