Re: [Boost-users] boost::bind for returning a reference?

Paul wrote:

Hi all,

I understand why boost::bind() must return a const-reference or a value, but what I don't understand is, why must I do boost::bind(...) if I want it to return by reference?

Why must I (the user) deduce the return type myself?

Can you expand your ... a bit in order to help me understand your question better?
