Is there any way to use boost::function and member function pointers with VC6 . I realize it is deficient in partial specialization but I was still hoping to be able to use it. All my attempts to compile meet with failure although the compiler tests say that VC6 succeeds both with boost::function and boost::bind. If I try the bind1st.cpp example in libs\function\example directory I get the error: error C2784: 'class std::mem_fun_t<_R,_Ty> __cdecl std::mem_fun(_R (__thiscall _Ty::*)(void))' : could not deduce template argument for '<Unknown>' from 'int (__thiscall X::*)(int)' If I try some code of my own and use boost::bind instead, I get an error: error C2780: 'class boost::_bi::bind_t<R,class boost::_mfi::cmf8<R,T,B1,B2,B3,B4,B5,B6,B7,B8>,class boost::_bi::list9<class boost::_bi::value<R>,class boost::_bi ::value<R>,class boost::_bi::value<R>,class boost::_bi::value<R>,class boost::_bi::value<R>,class boost::_bi::value<R>,class boost::_bi::value<R>,class boost::_bi::value<R>,class boost::_bi::value<R> >

My own code is: #include "stdafx.h" #include <boost\function.hpp> #include <boost\bind.hpp> class MyClass { public: int MyMember(int,int,int); }; int MyClass::MyMember(int x,int y,int z) { int a = x + y + z; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { MyClass mcl; boost::function3<int,int,int,int> bf; bf = boost::bind(&MyClass::MyMember,&mcl); bf(2,3,4); return 0; }
