I meant simply what I said. Please explain to me why boost::function throwing an exception when invoked on an empty target is objectionable to you. If I have misunderstand to what you are objecting I apologize, but it seems to me that you find this behavior incorrect somehow.
I thought I did in my first reply to you as well as the next one to Emil Dotchevski... To restate only the general picture as short as possible, the problem is not in the 'documented behaviour' as such/in itself but in the context of all of the implications of that/such behaviour...Just as the core 'objection(s)' are not concentrated on some idea of behaviour but about the specifics of the current implementation... -- "What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate."
