3453,Using bind with Boost.Function won't compile,junfeng-guo@…,Douglas Gregor,"Below codes are copied from sample codes in Boost.Bind documentation at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/bind/bind.html#with_boost_function, with a little modification.

It compiles in older version (1.30.0) but fails to compile in newer version (1.36.0 or newer) and report following error:

\boost/function/function_base.hpp(316) : error C2059: syntax error : '('

\boost/function/function_base.hpp(312) : while compiling class template member function 'void boost::detail::function::functor_manager_common<Functor>::manage_small(const boost::detail::function::function_buffer &,boost::detail::function::function_buffer &,boost::detail::function::functor_manager_operation_type)'

I am using MSVC 9.0. Seems there is a bug in the Boost.Function codes. 

Here are the test codes:

class button

{

public:

    boost::function<void()> onClick;
};

class player

{

public:

    void play(){};

    void stop(){};
};

button playButton, stopButton;

player thePlayer;

void connect()

{

    playButton.onClick = boost::bind(&player::play, &thePlayer);

    stopButton.onClick = boost::bind(&player::stop, &thePlayer);
}
