You're absolutely right about the reference. That led to a process of
chasing bugs in much more complex code than in my example that made me
sprint right past the way to properly use the boost::bind/boost::function
pair I needed in my event handler because I attributed some seg faults to
it.
Do not code while half asleep!
Thank you for your and Alan's reply.

Alpha::MethodsInHere mih; EventHandler eh(boost::bind(&Alpha::MethodsInHere::doesSomething, ????, _1))
--------My question is basically if this is possible. I was having a ton of trouble getting this to work, and after digging through some docs it seems like the '?????' in line of code in #4 needs to be a reference to eh . . . which isn't constructed yet. If I'm wrong, please tell me how to construct this bind properly. [snip]
Sorry, but you're wrong. You want "????" to be "mih", not "eh". "doesSomething"'s type is basically "(Alpha::MethodsInHere&, POD::POD*) -> void" hence you need and instance of Alpha::MethodsInHere. HTH,
