Hello all,
I was trying to use Boost.Function together with Boost.Typeof. It seems that if I run in type-of emulation mode I have to register boost::functionN instead of boost::function even if I only use boost::function... do you know why? <snip>
Because the type of &boost::function<int(int)>::operator() is int (boost::function1<int, int>::*)(int) The type of a member function pointer is determined by the class that it is declared in, not the class that it is accessed through.
Got it! In fact looking at the code: template<typename R, typename T0> class function1 : public function_base, public std::unary_function<T0,R> { public: result_type operator()( T0 a0) const ; ... }; template<typename R, typename T0> class function<R ( T0)> : public function1<R , T0> { ... }; However, the docs say that operator() is defined in function and not just in its public base functionN: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/doc/html/boost/function.html#id427205-b... Maybe this should be corrected. Thanks a lot for the clarification! --Lorenzo -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-function-why-do-I-function1-for-typ...
