Re: [Boost-users] Problem with boost::bind and boost::lambda::bind

Very interesting information, thank you. Is there any documentation about these details ? I couldn't find anything like that in the boost lambda library documentation.

I noticed that boost::bind code usually compiles faster too. But I'm working an a numerical simulation library and I have to compose functions together a lot of times. That's where lambda is very handy.

Also I can't still understand *why* only the boost::bind binder works in the three examples you gave. What is the technical reason behind these results? Is it really necessary to study the whole boost::lambda library from source code to figure it out?

Best Regards

AFAIK, there are no reasons for not supporting this stuff in lambda bind, except one -- it requires time for implementation. Some day we'll have both of two worlds -- phoenix 2. It should unite boost bind, boost lambda and phoenix. I believe no one is seriously interested in improving boost lambda at the moment because this code gonna become obsolete soon. Roman Perepelitsa.
