... Here's how BGL defines it:

-------------

BOOST_TTI_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION(finish_edge)

template <bool IsCallable> struct do_call_finish_edge { template static void call_finish_edge(Vis& vis, const E& e, const G& g) { vis.finish_edge(e, g); } };

template <> struct do_call_finish_edge<false> { template static void call_finish_edge(Vis&, const E&, const G&) {} };

template void call_finish_edge(Vis& vis, const E& e, const G& g) { // Only call if method exists do_call_finish_edge::value>::call_finish_edge(vis, e, g); }

The invocation of has_member_function_finish_edge has to match the member function signature which you are invoking. If the member function signature for finish_edge is:

void finish_edge(const E&, const G&);

then your invocation for do_call_finish_edge must be:

do_call_finish_edge < has_member_function_finish_edge < Vis, void, boost::mpl::vector < const E&, const G& > > ::value

...

::call_finish_edge(vis, e, g);

or

do_call_finish_edge < has_member_function_finish_edge < void Vis::* (const E&,const G&) > ::value

...

::call_finish_edge(vis, e, g);

Thank you Edward.

The instantiation code was not mine, that is what is done by the BGL, here:

boost\graph\depth_first_search.hpp

The instantiation code does not seem to match your recommendation. This simple DFS test fails:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/attachment/ticket/9770/test.cc

So it sounds like BGL needs some patching to match your format. It should change from...

do_call_finish_edge::value>::call_finish_edge(vis, e, g);

to...

do_call_finish_edge::value>::call_finish_edge(vis, e, g);

Does that sound correct?

On the newer code, Visual Studio 12 gives me:

boost_1_55_0/boost/graph/depth_first_search.hpp(86): error C2182: 'abstract declarator' : illegal use of type 'void'

I am the developer for TTI. In your test case the actual VIZ struct has templated member functions, so I do not think has_member_function will find your templated functions. TTI is a compile-time mechanism for producing compile-time code. But even if it does not find the member functions at compile-time TTI should not produce a compile-time error so I definitely want to look at this situation.

As to why Visual Studio 12 gives that error I need to be able to reproduce your compile steps. I am an absolute novice with the Boost graph library. I think I need to build the library first, then run your test against it.

Jeremiah Willcock produced the changes in graph using TTI so he may have had a very good reason for using the original has_member_function signature, although it looks wrong to me on purely a TTI basis. Hopefully he will chime in on his change.

Thanks Edward, appreciate the feedback, I'll be monitoring. In the meantime my workaround of making finish_edge() non-optional is working for me. But of course I'd prefer not to have to change boost code before using. :-)

Sure appreciate all you guys do to develop and maintain the libraries, boost is just fantastic.

I wanted a way to test for equivalent signatures for the finish_edge member (copy vs. const ref, for example). I probably believed/saw somewhere that the syntax I used would do that. Is there a way to get a general "call ability" test for a member function using TTI?

If by general "call ability" you mean a name with any signature, that is not currently in TTI. If you know of a way to do this I would be glad to incorporate it in TTI.
