Re: [Boost-users] [boost.bind] How to retrieve the function type of a boost::bind result

void baz() { foo(boost::bind(&bar)); // error }

So how do I get the first line of baz to work? That is, is there a generic way to compute the boost::function type from the bind result?

There is not because the boost::function type is not unique.

Hmm, indeed. However wouldn't it be possible for the bind (member) function pointer overloads to return a "_bind_t_ex" type derived from _bind_t containing a function_type typedef? In my particular use case I will use bind with function pointers only. Best regards Olaf Krzikalla
