Hello, Attached you can find a modified version of your code snipplet that works. In fact you needn't specify <bool>, but you have to pass as many arguments as the function actually takes, three in this case. Even if you specify a default value for threshold, the compiler treats equ as a function taking three parameters. HTH Best regards, Jocó P.S. to Agoston Bejo: Kicsi a világ :) -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Agoston Bejo Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 1:01 AM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] bind and default function parameters Hi! A small example: -------------------------------- template<typename T1, typename T2> bool equ(T1 t1, T2 t2, double threshold) { return t1 == t2; } int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { int ia1[] = {1,2,3,4,5}; cout << *find_if(ia1, ia1+5, bind<bool>(equ<int, int>, _1, 5)) << endl; // ERROR return 0; } ----------------------------------- Compiler: VC++7.1 (Intermezzo: another question: why do I have to specify the result type for bind in this case (bool)? Why can't it deduce it from the template function declaration: the return type is non-dependent.)
