Hi, FYI, the code below compiles and runs OK on MSVC++7... so you might just be right! Regards, Antoine -----Original Message----- From: Andre Hentz [mailto:ahentz@cariden.com] Sent: November 28, 2002 09:42 To: Boost-Users@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Boost-Users] MSVC++, bind and namespaces I've just encountered this problem and it looks like a MS bug. Not sure it deserves a Boost workaround but I thought it would be nice to let you know (in case you don't already). Here's the code: #include namespace A{ struct c{ void setName(const char*) {} }; } namespace B{ struct c{ void setName(const char*) {} }; } using namespace B; using namespace A; int main() { boost::bind(&A::c::setName, _1, _2); return 0; } It looks legal to me but I'm no expert. GCC compiles with no warnings but MSVC++ 6sp5 gives the error below. boost/bind/mem_fn_vw.hpp(29) : error C2872: 'c' : ambiguous symbol boost/bind.hpp(875) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_mfi::mf1' being compiled boost/bind.hpp(886) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::bind_t_generator<void>::implementation,class boost::_bi::list2,class boost::arg<2> > >' being compiled test.cpp(15) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::bind_t,class boost::_bi::list2,cla ss boost::arg<2> > >' being compiled boost/bind/mem_fn_vw.hpp(31) : error C2872: 'c' : ambiguous symbol boost/bind.hpp(875) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_mfi::mf1' being compiled boost/bind.hpp(886) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::bind_t_generator<void>::implementation,class boost::_bi::list2,class boost::arg<2> > >' being compiled test.cpp(15) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::bind_t,class boost::_bi::list2,class boost::arg<2> >
