Re: [Boost-users] [bind] [multi-index] Create type of pointer tooverloaded erase method

The technique works exactly as you have described: if f is a function template and you write

P *p=&f;

T1 and Tn are matched against the function type P (if possible). This is explicitly stated in section 14.8.2.2 of the standard (if you don't have it grab a draft copy at http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2723.pdf ).

HTH,

It does a lot - thank you! And by the way, multi-index container has made my code a lot smaller, neater, more readable and more exception safe, so thanks for that too!
