lambda vs string concatenation

20 Aug 2005

      Hello,

I'm just discovering Boost, and it looks great. However, I can't get
the following code to work. I use g++ (GCC) 3.4.4 20050721 and boost
1.32 (also tried 1.33). When I try a similar example with mere
integers it works though...

#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
#include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost::lambda;

int main() {
  vector<string> cols;
  cols.push_back("foo");
  string prefix = "t1.";
  for_each(cols.begin(), cols.end(), _1 = prefix + _1);
  cout << cols.front() << endl;
  return 0;
}

g++ t.cpp && ./a.out
