I've always believed that function pointers don't require an ampersand:
Do function pointers need an ampersand
Yet, every example I've seen of using boost::bind
shows one, and my compiler - in most situations - gives a typically inscrutable error message if it's omitted.
synchronize(boost::bind(&Device::asyncUpdate , this, "ErrorMessage")); // Works
synchronize(boost::bind(Device::asyncUpdate , this, "ErrorMessage")); // Fails
Am I wrong in assuming that boost::bind
's first parameter is basically function pointer?
回答1:
Function pointers don't need it, member function pointers do.
Device::asyncUpdate
is member function, as you could guess because it is being bound to this
.
Here's a normative quote from n3337, 5.3.1/4
A pointer to member is only formed when an explicit & is used and its operand is a qualified-id not enclosed in parentheses.
