[Bind] Increasing the max number of arguments bind supports?
We just ran into a need for passing 12 arguments to boost::bind(), which only supports up to 9 arguments. Is there any way to (easily?) increase this number? With Function, one can just set BOOST_FUNCTION_MAX_ARGS to change the value; does/could Bind have something similar? Doug

Twelve arguments? I'd like to see that example. ;-)
It's a good one :) In this case, I almost had a nonbeliever convinced that bind was The Way, and it was all good until his function jumped from 9 arguments to 12. He's now switched over to a configuration object and is picking on me because templates did lead to more readable code (but not in the way we wanted...). C'mon, take a hit of the preprocessor metaprogramming crack. You *know* you want to :) Doug

Shouldn't that be "take a crack at the preprocessor metaprogramming ...". Geez, these RPI grads sure write confusing English .... <g> .

Have you considered the possibility that he is right? ;-)
