OTOH, I can cut a branch of the RDDL which packages and uses Boost.Overload internally for those interested and do the integration with it. If anybody's interested in doing this or working more on it, let me know so I can add you to the Sourceforge project.
Well my very initial plan was to develop an object factory ;-) Then I realized I could use your dispatcher as core dispatching mechanism, but it lacked multi-signature that is mandatory for a factory that should be able to call all the c'tor of an object on user request. So my plans were to add multi-signature to dispatcher, then, thanks to Joel and Marco this 'overload' project was borne and grown independently. So now the next steps could be: - Use overload in dispatcher - Use dispatcher in object factory, and see if there is space to use also the Tobias one, that allows a custom allocator, as example instead of the c'tor wrappers functors, i.e. the functions that will be registered with 'overload'. But my problem is that I'll leave next week for a very long business travel to China and Far east and I will be not able to dedicate time to this project for probably one month or more. I already just use spare time for this, and my spare time will be veeeery small in the next weeks. So, thanks Dean, I will surely ask you to be added to Sourceforge, but it has no meaning to do it now. Marco
