Re: [Boost-users] identical boost expression used in different parts of the code - looking for an alias

i'm thinking of using something like

some_type* fo = new boost::bind(&A::f,_1);

and use *fo in place of boost::bind(...). is this crazy? what should some_type be?

You can use boost::function to store the result of a boost::bind expression: http://boost.org/libs/bind/bind.html#with_boost_function For instance, you might write: boost::function bound = boost::bind(&A::f, _1); depending on the signature of A::f. Note, don't use 'new', just assign the value of boost::bind.
