boost::bind, std::bind and overloaded functions

Question

I noticed that boost::bind, unlike std::bind, can work with overloaded functions when one of these functions doesn\'t have any parameters. Am I right? Is this documented?

Answer 1

The first case compiles well in MSVC10 with both std and boost (because MSVC10 doesn't support variadic templates, so std::bind is implemented similarly to boost::bind).

The second case wouldn't compile, because bind can resolve overloads having different arity, but can't resolve overloads that differ by argument types only.
