Simply including boost/bind.hpp causes compilation error

Boost.Bind declares the placeholders _1, _2, etc at global scope. Boost.Lambda declares the placeholders _1, _2, and _3 in namespace boost::lambda. The use of _1 in this context is ambiguous. Try qualifying it. namespace bll = boost::lambda; (bll::_1 * 3) In Christ, Steven Watanabe

(bll::_1 * 3)
Thanks for this idea. I was also able to solve this problem by changing using namespace boost::lambda; to using boost::lambda::_1; Ken

We discussed this years ago. AFAICR Dave Abrahams terminated the discussion with a statement that clearly considered _1 in global namespace as a design error. At least this is how I understood his statemment. So here again someone falls over this. Years go by and nasty little oddities remain unfixed and - worse - undocumented (similar to multi_array not modeling Assignable like any good C++ container in this world). I would like to revoke this discussion in order to get this fixed once for all times: How and when can we get rid of _1 and bretheren in global namespace? Having bll be a second class citizen has driven me crazy more than once, letting me put explicit namespace prefixes everywhere, no longer using Koenig lookup anywhere. Of course the vicinity of fusion/phoenix/xpressive/proto complicates the situation, but we can fix this. std::tr1::placeholders::_1 points into the right direction. I am thinking of something like boost::placeholders::_, ...::_1, etc. So maybe the answer to all this is <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boost_tr1/ subject_list.html#boost_tr1.subject_list.bind>, but please, please remove *anything* from global namespace for boost-1.36 and tag boost::has_evolved_to_tr1* libs as deprecated in favor to the standardized version.

Looks like you might be using the wrong bind. Instead of the following header: #include <boost/bind.hpp> Try this header from the lambda package: #include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp> Had the same problem earlier today, and it corrected it. Good luck -Atif Ken Smith-8 wrote:
