Re: [Boost-users] warning C4180 in VS 2005 for bind.hpp

Adam Badura:

I have a large project at work. We use Visual Studio 2005 with SP 1 and Boost 1.34.0. When we use boost::bind in algorithms on collections we very often get following warning (at level 3):

J:\ThirdParty\boost_1_34_0\boost/bind.hpp(1575) : warning C4180: qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored

This is a VC8 compiler bug; the compiler is picking up the wrong specialization. It is harmless in this particular case as the code is only instantiated, but not executed. I haven't been able to find a workaround. My impression is that MS has acknowledged this as a bug after much deliberation, but promised no fix. :-)
