Re: [Boost-users] Boost bind library question

How can I use boost:bind library to bind to constructor of a class.

Right now, I have code like this: class build { public:

Rect* operator()(string& str) { return new Rect(str); }

};

void TestBlockData::buildRectList( vector<string>& inputs, RectList& bdl) {

transform(inputs.begin(), inputs.end(), bdl.begin(), build()); }

I wonder if I can get rid of the whole "build class" by using boost::bind library.

No, you can't; boost::bind can only adapt existing function objects into new function objects, but as a general rule it can't create function objects from scratch. The Lambda library has new_ptr<Rect>() that may work for you, though: http://www.boost.org/doc/html/lambda/le_in_details.html#lambda.construction_...
