Hi Igor, Thanks for your reply.
You have to cast &Node::get_parent explicitly to one of the available overloads, to resolve ambiguity.
Any pointers on how to do this? My compiler keeps complaining. This is how I cast: NodeSet nodes_whitespace = doc->get_root_node()->find("//text()[normalize-space()='']"); for_each(nodes_whitespace.begin(), nodes_whitespace.end(), bind(&Node::remove_child, bind(static_cast<Node*(Node::*)()>(&Node::get_parent), _1))); This is what my compiler thinks about it: main.cpp: In function ‘void remove_whitespace_nodes(xmlpp::Document*)’: main.cpp:58: error: invalid static_cast from type ‘<unresolved overloaded function type>’ to type ‘xmlpp::Node* (xmlpp::Node::*)()’ How should I do this then? Thank you, Andrej
