Hello Newsgroup, in the following code the call bind (&boost::tuple<int, double>::get<0>, _1) does not compile whereas an analogous call with a non-template parameter compiles fine. What am I doing wrong? I'm using boost 1.33.1 and Visual Studio 7.1 Thanks in advance, Christian #include <vector> #include <algorithm> #include <string> #include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp> #include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp> #include <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp> class SearchForMe { std::string a_; public: std::string getA () {return a_;} }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { using namespace std; using namespace boost::lambda; vector<SearchForMe> foo; // compiles fine find_if (foo.begin (), foo.end (), bind (&SearchForMe::getA, _1) == "apple"); vector< boost::tuple<int, double> > bar; // does not compile find_if (bar.begin (), bar.end (), bind (&boost::tuple<int, double>::get<0>, _1) == 15); return 0; } The error messages are: Compiling... boost_lambda.cpp
