Where can I get this ? Freshmeat turns up blank.
I've been playing with STL, exceptions, etc. in a fun side-project recently
and finding it rather frustrating to use function objects. It seems every step
there is another thing making f.o.s not do what I want.
One thing is I can't seem to use member functions taking reference arguments
in a mem_fun, e.g. :
for_each(thing.begin(), thing.end(), bind_2nd(mem_fun(&Thing::func), thingobj))
doesn't work if ::func looks like : Thing::func(Thingobj & to)
also I can't do dynamic cast from a function object ! The passed objects fail to
dynamic cast even when the object is definitely downcastable ...
bah
Lars, are you planning to use exceptions thoroughly over lyx when compilers catch
up ?
Oh, and JMarc, is the comment about gcc 2.8.1 in support/debugstream still applicable
now ?
thanks
john
