A new release of boost overload is out. You can find it under overload-mrcec in boost vault. Link: http://tinyurl.com/2w4wob I remind you that boost overload is a thin wrapper around a set of boost::function objects, and behaves as an overloaded boost::function. You can read more about boost overload here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhd386mp_16gxsfxn The documentation was kindly written down by Dean Michael Berris. Moreover you can give a look at a tutorial updated to the latest release of the library here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfxvjncs_1x6456m what's new in version 0.3.0 (overload-0.3.0.zip) ================================================ - added partial support for MSVC 7.1, all work but signature deduction of multi-signature function objects, you have to use the signature based syntax in order to set multi-signature function objects as callable targets; - you can set a free function overload or a member function overload as callable target through the signature based syntax; for more info give a look to the tuturial; the same applies to template free functions and template member functions; - added two new helper methods - the empty_all method that tell us if all callable targets are empty; - the clear_all method that clears all the callable targets; - in the folder libs/overload/example you can find all the examples presented in the tutorial; - fixed some minor issue.
