[Boost-users] boost::signals - can't generate assignment op.

27 Jan 2009

      I know that signals can't be assigned or copied, and as far as I can 
tell I have made sure that never happens.  However, I'm still getting 
the warning.  We have no warning policy here.

Code followed by compiler output, what do I need to do?:

-------------------------------------------
#include <boost/signal.hpp>
#include <boost/function.hpp>

struct rect {};

       struct document
       {
         document() : changed_sig() {}
         virtual rect extents() const = 0;

         virtual ~document() {}

         boost::signals::connection attach(boost::function<void 
(document&)> const& slot)
         {
           return changed_sig.connect(slot);
         }

       private:
         boost::signal<void (document&)> changed_sig;
         document(document const&) {}
         document& operator=(document const&) { return *this;}

       protected:
         void changed(document & d) { changed_sig(d); }
       };

int main()
{
}
