Re: [Boost-users] [Fwd: boost::bind vs. boost::lambda::bind - bug]

You've created a conflict among the placeholders. Both bind and lambda::bind declare _1. bind declares its placeholders at global scope, but lambda includes in the lambda namespace. Either use one or the other or don't use the "using namespace boost::lambda". What I usually do is alias the lambda namespace for brevity. #include #include namespace bll = boost::lambda; void test() { bll::bind(foo, bll::_1); } There has been talk about merging these, but I'm not sure the status is. Of course, with bind becoming part of the standard that may be difficult. -- Bill --
