Maybe you want

boost::function<int(int,int)> x = boost::bind(f,_1,_2);

??

Better than nothing, but i need a variable number of arguments, if it is possible.

boost::function doesn't support dumping arguments, unless I'm mistaken. Do this: template <class T> struct incomplete; template <class T> int q(T) { incomplete<T> a; } int x = q(boost::bind<int>(f,_1,_2)); The error message will tell you that incomplete<some_nasty_type> is incomplete. Write down that type and use it to declare the result of calling boost::bind. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

Hi,

Is it possible to store a boost::bind?

No; boost::bind is a function template.

...

boost::bind<int> x( f, _1, _2 ); int i = x( 3, 4 );

I get errors if i want to declare a variable of type boost::bind. The point is:

I want to have an object that gets a boost::bind, stores it and executes it with the correct values to the time i want. How can i do this?

Maybe you want

boost::function<int(int,int)> x = boost::bind(f,_1,_2);

Perhaps if you describe your problem in more detail we'll be able to suggest a better solution. In general function objects are stored in three ways: 1. In a boost::function<>, as above; but you need a fixed signature. 2. In a function template argument: template<class It, class F> void for_each( It first, It last, F f ) { // f is 'stored' here } for_each( first, last, boost::bind(f, _1, _2) ); 3. In a helper class template that implements a specified interface: template<class F> class my_function_wrapper: public my_function_base { private: F f_; public: explicit my_function_wrapper(F f): f_( f ) {} virtual void do0() { f_(); } virtual void do1(int x) { f_(x); } // and so on };
