Re: [Boost-users] Boost.Function in 1.37.0

Could you possibly send a small reproducer code. Since I have a setup of BOOST 1.37 with MSVC, MinGW and on GNU/Linux, I can test it. -dhruva 2008/12/13 Amit Sonawane :

Environment:

WinXP SP2/Visual Studio Team System 2005/Boost 1.37.0 32-bit

Using boost.function in Boost 1.37.0 generates several errors. Compiler extract :

In Boost 1.36.0 the code complies ok. Is it boost function or my code.
