More the opposite, result_of doesn't support boost::function and is quite limited without "recent" compiler features.

You may want to use "#define BOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_DECLTYPE" if your compiler is recent enough.
Explanations in the docs of result_of.
Of course if your compiler is even more recent, it may support std::result_of.
  
 

Hi Julien - I think I've read the relevant pages already, but it seems to come down to whether
the Boost.Function properly publishes its return type. I am a little surprised that it seems not to.

Thx, R.
