Using MSVC 7.1, I use a functor defined in-scope, as in
the following example.

///////////////////// code snippet

void bar()
{
    ...

    struct my_functor
    {
        void operator () (int arg1, int arg2) {

            ...
            foo();
            ...
        }

        ...
    };

    my_functor my_functor_instance;

    boost::function2<void, int, int> my_function1 =
boost::ref(my_functor_instance);
    boost::function2<void, int, int> my_function2 =
my_functor_instance;
}

/////////////////// explanation

This fails to compile, see below for error messages,
however if I move the declaration of the functor out of
the function bar(), it compiles fine. Perhaps it only
happens with MSVC.
