Re: [Boost-users] boost::bind, boost::function & placeholders flexibility

Hello everybody,

First of all, i'm a beginner trying to understand the use of the boost::bind library. Here is my problem :

I'd like to know if there is a way to omit placeholders when calling boost::bind and let the compiler deduce their number. I understand that this is contrary to the flexibility offers by the placeholder, but i need to do something like that.

Why do you _need_ to do that? As far as I'm aware, it's not possible to use bind without the placeholders, but I don't really see why it would be necessary. Sebastian Redl
