Related your mentioning of incoming implicit conversions: where do you think these may take place? Do I miss something?
simple_future<int> f1 = bind(slow_fac, 4);
This won't work if the single-argument ctor for simple_future<int> used here is marked explicit, so I conclude that it is not.
The constructor was intended to be non-explicit, just to allow for such implicit conversions from any nullary functor. Is that too dangerous?
Not necessarily, by itself.
I thought so :-P
However, you also have outgoing implicit conversions. The combination is very dangerous.
I agree with that. Please forget about the outgoing explicit conversions. These will be removed for sure. Regards Hartmut
