Re: [Boost-users] Construction/assignment inconsistency with boost::function on MSVC2005

Hello,

I encountered the following inconsistency constructing a boost::function object from a pointer to a template function.

template <typename T> void foo(T) {}

int main(int argc, char **argv) { boost::function f1; f1 = foo<int>; boost::function f2 = foo<int>;

f1(0); // ok f2(0); // error, function pointer is zero!

return 0; }

I am compiling on MSVC2005 SP1, using boost version 1.34.1.

Maybe it is the same problem as depicted in thread 'Boost.Function and template function', although I did use VStudio 2003. I also post it on a m$ newsgroup, but got no reaction from M$. Mr. Abrahams has obviously better contacts there (see his reaction)...
