Since my first post using the web interface seems to have been lost, I'm
From: "Markus Schöpflin" <markus.schoepflin@ginit-technology.com> trying again via email...
Is it just me or is it my compiler (MSVC6SP5)? The following code gives me
an error. Whats wrong?
#include <boost/bind.hpp> #include <functional>
using boost::bind;
void main() { bind(std::greater<int>, _1, _2)(1, 2); }
main.cpp(8) : error C2275: 'std::greater<int>' : illegal use of this type
as an expression To make it compile, you need to: * change std::greater<int> to std::greater<int>(); * change bind(... to bind<bool>(... since MSVC 6 cannot deduce the return type; * use the qualified boost::bind<bool> syntax to work around a bug in the compiler; and finally, use int x = 1; int y = 2; boost::bind<bool>(std::greater<int>(), _1, _2)(x, y); since bind cannot take rvalues (this is usually not a problem in real code, just in examples.)
