Re: [Boost-users] boost::bind question / bug(?)

Having trouble compiling this code. Only tested in VC8:

Removing 'const' from only the static class function seems to allow it to compile. Below is the error messages...

#include #include

struct A { static void foo( const int ) { } };

void bar( const int ) { }

int main() { boost::bind( &A::foo, _1 ) ; boost::bind( &bar, _1 ) ; }

This is a compiler bug. My advice is to avoid top-level const in signatures. You can still use it in the definition if you insist (although I've never seen its utility): struct A { static void foo( int ); }; int main() { boost::bind( &A::foo, _1 ) ; } void A::foo( const int ) { }
