Question

Is there something wrong in this code? I keep getting compilation errors. Basically I want to connect a void returning function to a signal which has a non void return type.
Boost version: Release 1.46.1

#include <boost/signals2.hpp>
#include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>
using namespace boost::signals2;

void func()
{
  printf("Func called!");
}

main()
{
  signal<int(int)> sig;
  sig.connect( (boost::lambda::bind(func),  1) );
}

I get the following error while compiling:

/opt/include/boost/signals2/detail/slot_template.hpp: In member function ‘void boost::signals2::slot1<R, T1, SlotFunction>::init_slot_function(const F&) [with F = int, R = int, T1 = int, SlotFunction = boost::function<int(int)>]’:

Thanks.

Seems to compile with no problem on Boost version 1.49
