Foo::operator() is declared void and you are trying to bind it with bind<int>. If you change it to bind<void> that error will go away, but you will get another error about not being able to convert int into int&. I believe this because of the forwarding problem (see the boost bind documentation under "Limitations"). So, in order to make it work you need:

struct Bar {

Bar( Foo& foo_ ) : foo( foo_ ) { }

void operator()( const char* s_ ) { bind<void>(foo, _1, 42)(s_); }

Foo& foo; };

Hope this helps,

Sorry, I meant: struct Bar { Bar( Foo& foo_ ) : foo( foo_ ) { } void operator()( const char* s_ ) { bind<void>(foo, _1, 42)(s_); } Foo& foo; }; That compiles for me in VC++ 8 -delfin

Hi, bind makes copies of the given parameters and operates on them. If you want bind to operate on a reference of the given object, you should use boost::ref. struct Bar { Bar( Foo& foo_ ) : foo( foo_ ) { } void operator()( const char* s_ ) { bind<void>(boost::ref(foo), _1, 42)(s_); } Foo& foo; }; This results in: $ ./a.out Hallo, 42 Greetings, Stefan On Do, 2008-02-28 at 21:04 +0100, Olaf Peter wrote:

Thanks a lot, the wrong return type was stupid ...

yes, but I do not get the expected output, I was not carefully enough?
