Hi, I would like to bind to the boost::get<N> function for use by transform iterator. This is the pseudo code if get worked like a simple function. std::vector<tuple<int,int,float> > v(2); v[0] = tuple<int,int,float>(2,2,2.2f); v[1] = tuple<int,int,float>(3,3,3.3f); std::accumulate( boost::make_transform_iterator( v.begin(), boost::lambda::bind(&boost::get<1>,_1)), boost::make_transform_iterator( v.end(), boost::lambda::bind(&boost::get<1>,_1)), 0); I find bind is difficult to use for functions that deduce template arguments from function arguments. I thought if I changed boost::get<1> -> boost::get<1,tuple<int,int,float> > That didn't work either. Digging through tuple.hpp makes my head spin. Is there an easy way to do this. Thanks, Chris
