boost::bind( wrapper, a, boost::bind( c, p ), b ); creates a function object that executes wrapper(a, c(p), b). what you want is wrapper(a, boost::bind( c, p ), b), so you have to write boost::bind( wrapper, a, boost::protect(boost::bind( c, p )), b );

In Christ,

I know I'm being really dim here, but I have a strange mental block about protect, so for the hard-of-thinking can you explain the difference between boost::bind( wrapper, a, boost::bind( c, p ), b ); and boost::bind( wrapper, a, boost::protect(boost::bind( c, p )), b ); Thanks, - Rob.
