Re: [Boost-users] [function] template deduction issues

Say I have a function as follows:

*template< typename t_packet > void Subscribe( boost::function func ) { // gSignal is a boost::signal somewhere. Assume valid. gSignal.connect( func ); }*

And in some other function, I invoke Subscribe() as follows: * void MyCallback( WalkPacket const& p ) { }

void MainTest() { Subscribe( &MyCallback ); }*

The code above will actually not compile, since the template parameter t_packet cannot be deduced. Is there a way I can make the template deduction work?

You can construct a boost::function at the call site explicitly rather than relying on the implicit conversion. Alternately you can provide an overload of Subscribe for function pointers. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
