[boost] [parameter] compiler errors with operator()

10 May 2010

      Hello all,

I am trying to compile the example from Boost.Parameter section 2.2
but I get the GCC errors below. The errors go aways if I name the
member function `f` instead of `operator()`.

What am I doing wrong? How do I use Boost.Parameter with member operators?

    // File: "c2.cpp".
    #include <boost/parameter.hpp>
    #include <iostream>

    BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(arg1)
    BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(arg2)

    struct callable2
    {
        BOOST_PARAMETER_CONST_MEMBER_FUNCTION(
            (void), operator(), tag, (required (arg1,(int))(arg2,(int))))
        {
            std::cout << arg1 << ", " << arg2 << std::endl;
        }
    };

    int main() {
        callable2 c2;
        c2(1, 2);
        c2(2, 1);
        return 0;
    }

$ g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu4)

I am using Boost v1.42.0

Thank you very much.

P.S. Shall I report these type of questions on this mailing list or in
Boost's TRAC? I am new to Boost.Parameter so I am not sure these are
actual bugs...
