How to use lambda functions with boost::bind/std::bind in VC++ 2010?

Question

I have some lambda functions which I want to bind using either boost::bind or std::bind. (Don\'t care which one, as long as it works.) Unfortunately both of them give me differe

Answer 1

You need to manually specify the return type:

boost::bind(f)();
boost::bind(f2, 13)();

You can also write yourself a template-function to deduce the return type automagically using Boost.FunctionTypes to inspect your lambda's operator(), if you don't like to explicitly tell bind.
