I believe boost.bind has the capability to look through pointers and smart pointers to transparently process the pointed-to objects. Does boost.lambda.bind also have this capability?

No, but you should be able to use bind( &A::f, *_1 ) for that.

This should work unless A is an abstract type. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

I don't understand this; if this passes by reference as Peter states in this thread, why can A not be an abstract type?

Because of a long standing bug in the return type deduction mechanism. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Hi All

I believe boost.bind has the capability to look through pointers and smart pointers to transparently process the pointed-to objects. Does boost.lambda.bind also have this capability?

No, but you should be able to use bind( &A::f, *_1 ) for that.

Which I imagine passes by value?

It should pass by reference. You could also use bind( mem_fn( &A::f ), _1 ), if you like that better. This is what boost::bind does under the hood, more or less.
