[Boost-users] [bind] VC++ 2008 compiler error

13 Mar 2008

      Can anyone explain to me why VC++ 2008 refuses to compile this code:

void empty() { }

template <class T>
void foo(T t)
{
	// error C2664: 'void (T)' : cannot convert
	// parameter 1 from 'void' to 'boost::_bi::bind_t<R,F,L>'
	boost::bind(bar<T>, t)();

	// This one works though:
	boost::bind(bar<T>, _1)(t);
}

template <class T>
void bar(T t)
{
	t();
}

int main()
{
	foo(boost::bind(empty));
}

Is this a problem with the VC++ 2008 compiler or am I trying to do  
something which isn't supported by Boost.Bind?
