Hello: Here is what I'm going for; maybe this will explain I have the following code in my project: AddOlc("name", "Please enter the name of the object", STRING, boost::bind(OlcString, _1, _2, _3, boost::bind(&Entity::GetName, this), boost::bind(&Entity::SetName, this, _1))); OlcString: void OlcString(Entity* ed, Player* mob, const Variant* input, boost::function get, boost::function set) { if (input->Typeof() != VAR_STR) { mob->Message(MSG_ERROR, "Invalid input."); return; } set(input->GetStr()); } The point is for the callback (OlcString) to use the setter to set the name of the object, which is not what is happening. Here are the compile erorrs: 12:19:26: Compiling entity.cpp. In file included from /usr/local/include/boost/bind.hpp:22:0, from entity.cpp:5: /usr/local/include/boost/bind/bind.hpp: In member function ‘void boost::_bi::list5::operator()(boost::_bi::type<void>, F&, A&, int) [with F = void (*)(Entity*, Player*, const Variant*, boost::function, boost::function), A = boost::_bi::list3, A1 = boost::arg<1>, A2 = boost::arg<2>, A3 = boost::arg<3>, A4 = boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list1 > >, A5 = boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list2, boost::arg<1> > >]’: /usr/local/include/boost/bind/bind_template.hpp:116:59: instantiated from ‘boost::_bi::bind_t::result_type boost::_bi::bind_t::operator()(A1&, A2&, A3&) [with A1 = Entity*, A2 = Player*, A3 = const Variant*, R = void, F = void (*)(Entity*, Player*, const Variant*, boost::function, boost::function), L = boost::_bi::list5, boost::arg<2>, boost::arg<3>, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list1 > >, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list2, boost::arg<1> > > >, boost::_bi::bind_t::result_type = void]’ /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp:153:11: instantiated from ‘static void boost::detail::function::void_function_obj_invoker3::invoke(boost::detail::function::function_buffer&, T0, T1, T2) [with FunctionObj = boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::function), boost::_bi::list5, boost::arg<2>, boost::arg<3>, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list1 > >, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list2, boost::arg<1> > > > >, R = void, T0 = Entity*, T1 = Player*, T2 = const Variant*]’ /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp:907:60: instantiated from ‘void boost::function3::assign_to(Functor) [with Functor = boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::function), boost::_bi::list5, boost::arg<2>, boost::arg<3>, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list1 > >, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list2, boost::arg<1> > > > >, R = void, T0 = Entity*, T1 = Player*, T2 = const Variant*]’ /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp:722:7: instantiated from ‘boost::function3::function3(Functor, typename boost::enable_if_c::value, int>::type) [with Functor = boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::function), boost::_bi::list5, boost::arg<2>, boost::arg<3>, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list1 > >, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list2, boost::arg<1> > > > >, R = void, T0 = Entity*, T1 = Player*, T2 = const Variant*, typename boost::enable_if_c::value, int>::type = int]’ /usr/local/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp:1042:16: instantiated from ‘boost::function::function(Functor, typename boost::enable_if_c::value, int>::type) [with Functor = boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::function), boost::_bi::list5, boost::arg<2>, boost::arg<3>, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list1 > >, boost::_bi::bind_t, boost::_bi::list2, boost::arg<1> > > > >, R = void, T0 = Entity*, T1 = Player*, T2 = const Variant*, typename boost::enable_if_c::value, int>::type = int]’ entity.cpp:27:177: instantiated from here /usr/local/include/boost/bind/bind.hpp:525:9: error: conversion from ‘boost::_bi::result_traits&>

I have a quick question regarding boost::bind, as the subject line says.

This isn't a very viable example, but it works well enough to show what I want. I have a callback I am using boost::bind to bind to, and I am passing a function object in as shown by the following code: #include <cstdio> #include #include

class Math { public: void Add(int a, int b, int c, boost::function printer); { printer(a+b+c); } };

void Printer(int p) { printf("%d\n", p); }How might I make this work? I am not sure how I can pass that as the fourth argument so that the function can be called like (1,2,3) etc. Also, in the actual problem I moved the function object to the first argument, (which just ment changing the prototype and actual function), but I still got errors.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but the following should work: boost::bind(&Math::Add, Math(), _1, _2, _3, &Printer)(1, 2, 3)

-- Thanks, Ty

Oh. If you're using nested binds like this, you need to use protect. That did the trick. Thanks again for your help.
