Re: [Boost-users] Need help with Errors in boost MPL tutorials
There are far more than just two placeholders in Boost. AFAIK Phoenix, Lambda and Bind come with their own. The mpl placeholder is different though: It is a placeholder for a type (it's a meta-programming library after all) and not for a value. Try to write a MPL lambda, that might clear up some of the confusion. -- Philipp Moeller, GeometryFactory
That clears a lot of confusion from me. So again, mpl::lambda is also different from boost::lambda is that right (and also the lambda from c++11x) ? These are quite new terms for me. Would be great if someone could give me some references why they are different and should be implemented separately.

Well, boost::mpl::lambda is the only one that produces anonymous functions operating on types at compile-time. It's a completely different problem, given the way C++ is defined. The others (and Boost.Phoenix) are all in the same general design space, and I can think of possible justifications for their separate existence but I don't feel like speculating. :-) -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
