given that Boost.Bind has been largely superseded by Boost.Phoenix.Bind.
I'd like to address just this part. It's not true, AFAIK. Boost.Bind still has its place.
Can you elaborate?
Boost.Bind is a smaller, simpler library that pulls in less code and has fewer dependencies. It also doesn't do anything that would require decltype, or an emulation thereof (Boost.TypeOf).
If Boost.Bind meets my needs (and std::bind is not available), I use it.
Thanks, makes sense, except I wasn't aware that Boost.Phoenix used any kind of decltype-like mechanism...
It does not use decltype. It does, however, use Boost.TypeOf in some places for type deduction, which in turn uses decltype when available. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://boost-spirit.com
