I would like to detect if the return type of a function is void or not within C++03 standard? <snip>
I solved this problem once while writing a different trait and documented it here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/doc/html/proto/appendices.html#boost_pr... It's extremely clever, as others have noted, but I am wondering if there is any website, or possibly newsgroup, devoted to advanced TMP techniques such as yours.
Out of curiosity, but doesn't Boost.Function_Types give information about all this, including return type?
I believe the OP's question was "Can function X be invoked with a name and certain parameters and, if so, give me its return type", not "Give me the return type of known type function X". The latter, as you say, can be found out through Function_Types.
