Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #3453: Using bind with Boost.Function won't compile

Steven Watanabe — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:09:19 GMT

The following compiles for me against both 1.40 and the trunk.

#include <boost/function.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
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);
}

Can you post a complete self-contained example (with #includes) that fails?

My best guess is that new has been #defined.

Replying to steven_watanabe:

You are right! new has been #defined in a header file ahead of including boost header file. After I changed their including order, the problem solved.

Thanks, you are very helpful!
