Re: [Boost-users] Using boost function with virtual methods

typedef boost::function actionFuntion; typedef boost::shared_ptr<actionFuntion> actionFuntionPtr; <...> class CurveGenRegressionTestScenario : public RegressionTestScenario { public:         void changeBaseDate(const std::string &argument); <...> and I am trying to use the following:

actionFuntion funPtr; funPtr = &CurveGenRegressionTestScenario::changeBaseDate;

but it fails. I have no idea why. Could someone give me a hint?

boost::function -- is a callable with 2 arguments. &CurveGenRegressionTestScenario::changeBaseDate -- is a ptr to a member function. These 2 types are incompatible. You probably should look at Boost.Bind to accomplish your task: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/bind/bind.html#with_member_pointer...
