I had this code building and running perfectly:
boost::function<void(string)> bar = boost::bind(&Bar::BarHandler, this, _1);
//Somewhere else in Bar.cpp
void Bar::BarHandler( std::string message ){
//Do stuff
}
When I happily changed boost by std in the code above, I started getting this error (my compiler is Visual Studio 2010 SP1’s):

What’s going on? Maybe I should remove references to Boost headers?
you probably need to include
<functional>and explicitly use the placeholders namespace for the_1Edit: As has been pointed out in comments, you would also need to remove the boost headers that bring in the placeholders into the global namespace.
