Hello,
template <typename CB>
void Foo(CB cb)
{
int a=123, b=456;
bind(cb, _1, _2)(a,b);
}
void Bar1(int) {}
void Bar2(int, int) {}
int main()
{
Foo(Bar1);
Foo(Bar2);
}
The above compiles on Comeau, but fails on VC7.1 and GCC 3.2.2.
- The failing compilers complain because they cannot deduce the return type
for bind(). Expliciting it via bind<void>() turns off a first level of
errors. Why does this happen? Which template machery is failing? Maybe is
there a way to workaround it?
- After that, they complain with "too many arguments for call through
pointers". I know that bind() silently skips exceeding arguments, but I
never got if this applies to arguments at bind-time or call-time. Anyway, if
it's really wrong, then Comeau should not accept it, should it?
By the way, I'd love if the above was legal (and working on relatively
standard-compliant compilers like the aboves). It lets me support different
types of callbacks with additional parameters that can be ignored completely
if the user doesn't need that bit of information.
