[Boost-users] boost::bind problem

31 May 2004

      Hi,
Please take a look at the code below.
The point is that for_each_treenode calls for_each_treenode_child. It seems
to me that
bind(Print, ref(cout), _1)(&t);
is not the same as
Print(cout, &t);
But if this is the case, how come that
for_each_treenode_child(&t, bind(Print, ref(cout), _1));
compiles and works without problem?
The compiler I use is VC 7.1.

Thx,
Gus
