Hi all, I'm running into a compile error using bind with visual c++ 7.1 and am hoping some clever cookie here will be able to help. I've whittled the issue down to a few simple functions (you'll have to trust that it makes sense in the original context): template <typename T_Param> void foo(T_Param a_param) { } template <typename T_Param> void callFooWith(T_Param a_param) { boost::bind(&foo, a_param)(); // <- (1) ERROR HERE } void bar(int) { } int main(int a_argc, char *a_argv[]) { callFooWith(42); // <- (2) FINE callFooWith(boost::bind(&bar, 10)); // <- (3) FAILS return 0; } If I remove line (3), it compiles without error. Adding line (3) results in a compile error reported at line (1) (error is at bottom of post). The compile error seems to stem from operator() on line (1); if the "()" is removed from line (1), the code will compile without error. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch, Trent. *** Error message follows *** c:/workspace\swlib2\BOOST\1.30.2\win32\files\boost\bind.hpp(186) : error C2664: 'void (T_Param)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'boost::_bi::result_traits::type' to 'boost::_bi::bind_t' with [ T_Param=boost::_bi::bind_t> ] and [ R=void, F=void (__cdecl *)(int) ] and [ R=void, F=void (__cdecl *)(int), L=boost::_bi::list1 ] Expressions of type void cannot be converted to other types c:/workspace\swlib2\BOOST\1.30.2\win32\files\boost\bind\bind_template.hpp(21) : see reference to function template instantiation 'R boost::_bi::list1<A1>::operator ()::result_type,void(__cdecl *)(T_Param),boost::_bi::list0>(boost::_bi::type<T>,void,A &) const' being compiled with [ R=boost::_bi::bind_t>::result_type, A1=boost::_bi::list_av_1>>::B1, F=void (__cdecl *)(int), L=boost::_bi::list1, T_Param=boost::_bi::bind_t>, T=boost::_bi::bind_t>::result_type, A=boost::_bi::list0 ] c:/workspace\swlib2\BOOST\1.30.2\win32\files\boost\bind\bind_template.hpp(19) : while compiling class-template member function 'boost::_bi::bind_t::result_type boost::_bi::bind_t::operator ()(void)' with [ R=void, F=void (__cdecl *)(boost::_bi::bind_t>), L=boost::_bi::list1>>::B1> ] c:/workspace\ main.cpp(36) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::_bi::bind_t' being compiled with [ R=void, F=void (__cdecl *)(boost::_bi::bind_t>), L=boost::_bi::list1>>::B1> ] c:/workspace\ main.cpp(46) : see reference to function template instantiation 'void callFooWith>(T_Param)' being compiled with [ R=void, F=void (__cdecl *)(int), L=boost::_bi::list1, T_Param=boost::_bi::bind_t> ]
