[Boost-users] [bind] Dereferencing placeholder argument

Hi, Is there a way of automatic placeholder argument dereferencing when using bind()? I mean: struct SomePredicate { bool operator()(int num, const Foo& foo) const { return SomeTestOnFoo(num, foo); } } std::vector foos; // line below gives compilation error because second argument passed // to functor is Foo* and not Foo. std::for_each(foos.begin(), foos.end(), bind(SomePredicate(), 123, _1); I don't want to use indirect() adaptor from boost.range because I want final output range to still have Foo* as value_type so that it can still be copied to another std::vector etc. So: is there a way of telling bind() that is should dereference a placeholder argument before passing it to underlying bound functor?
