I think that most of us would admit that local functions are useful, but as discussed during the review, Boost.Local doesn't provides local functions. The missing features been: * implicit access to the accessible variables
Yes, in the example below you explicitly have to say "bind this".
* access to the non public functions of the embedding class (in case of a local function of a member function).
Can you explain this point better? This example shows that you can access public, protected, and private members of a bound object (from within a member of the same class): #include <boost/local/function.hpp> #include <iostream> struct x { void f() { void BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_PARAMS(bind this) { this_->priv(); this_->prot(); this_->publ(); } BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_NAME(l) l(); } public: void publ() { std::cout << "public" << std::endl; } protected: void prot() { std::cout << "protected" << std::endl; } private: void priv() { std::cout << "private" << std::endl; } }; int main ( ) { x xx; xx.f(); return 0; } Thanks a lot for the clarification. --Lorenzo
