[boost] [bind] vc6 problem

10 Jun 2004

      Hello,
when I try to compiler the following code snippet on vc6 I get a lot of errors:

    #include <locale>
    #include <boost/bind.hpp>

    void aux(const std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, mbstate_t>& cvt)
    {
         boost::bind(boost::mem_fn(&std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, mbstate_t>::in),
                        &cvt,
                       _1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7);
    }

The errors are:

And so on. Any ideas what I can do to workaround this? The code itself works fine on every other compiler.
