[Boost.Assign][doc] Question on a statement in the documentation
Here http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/assign/doc/index.html#extensions is stated "it is illegal to take the address of a function in the standard library" Is it correct? Where is it mentioned in the Standard? 17.4.4.4/2 says that a member function may be replaced with the version with other signature, but a) "a member function" != "a function" b) May be replaced with the version with other signature doesn't mean one cannot take its address, it only means taking its address doesn't make sense for portable code.
Hi Alexander
Here
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/assign/doc/index.html#extensions
is stated "it is illegal to take the address of a function in the standard library"
Is it correct? Where is it mentioned in the Standard?
17.4.4.4/2 says that a member function may be replaced with the version with other signature, but a) "a member function" != "a function" b) May be replaced with the version with other signature doesn't mean one cannot take its address, it only means taking its address doesn't make sense for portable code.
I believe you are correct. Thanks -Thorsten
