Sorry for the late reply, I'm not following every boost thread, I got this message via google alerts. Yes, this has not been done. Local function can borrow argument binding syntax from ScopeExit but there are other things I need to think of. For instance, in int BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION(f, (BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_BIND( (a)(&b) ), int c)) { // ... } BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_END syntax, is there any way to shorten BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_BIND to "bind"? The syntax doesn't have to be exactly as above. If someone could take a lead on this it would be great. I don't have time for this, I'm afraid. Alex
