I don't get it. As mentioned earlier, we automatedly test our examples and that one passed. Any idea why?
I looked in boost/libs/parameter/test and grep lambda returned nothing.
It's not there.
I found three tests for lazy binding with operator|| and none used lambda. It looks like lambda was never test. Is there some other way it would have been tested that I'm missing?
Yes, we have a system (see tools/litre) that allows us to embed testing instructions in the source for our documentation. Actually the process assembles source files and a Jamfile. We then run all the tests in that Jamfile. If you look at the .rst files that document the use of lambda, you can see that those examples are tested.
Aha! Litre sounds like a good idea. How are you supposed to run it? I'd like to try to see what happens with the .rst files that document using lambda. Is the litre test a build target in a Jamfile?
I'm open to whatever you and Daniel agree on.
I like the idea of replacing the lambda example with a boost::bind example as Daniel suggested above.
Daniel, can you do that?
You mean Daniel Wallin, not me, right? Daniel
