Hi guys, ran across a question that I'd have thought would be at least common enough to get a note in the docs, but I can't find it there.

Is it safe to set a function from within a call on the function?

boost::function<void()> f;

void func2();

void func1() { f = func2; }

void main() { f = func1; f(); }

As long as the function object being called by the boost::function doesn't mind having its state disappear, it's fine. - Doug
