Using the code snippet below as an example,... #include <vector> #include <algorithm> #include <functional> #include "boost/lambda/lambda.hpp" #include "boost/lambda/bind.hpp" #include struct S { int methodOfS( ); }; int main( ) { typedef std :: vector Vec; using namespace boost :: lambda; boost :: function fn = bind( & S :: methodOfS, _1 ); Vec v; Vec :: iterator match; match = find_if( v.begin( ), v.end( ), bind( fn, _1 ) != fn( * v.begin( ) ) ); // OK match = find_if( v.begin( ), v.end( ), fn( _1 ) != fn( * v.begin( ) ) ); // Fail } I find the line marked 'OK' compiles, but not the line marked 'Fail'. Isn't the very point of Boost.Bind to enable this kind of syntax? Is there a better way to write it than my 'Fail' line, but which will still compile?
