Hi,

I am attempting to use Boost bind and function to help me pass a member function as a function pointer to the GLUT C-library.

I have difficulty understanding the usage of bind and function in the Boost library. When I attempt to pass what I thought was a function pointer, the compiler indicated that it is actually not a function pointer.

class MyGlut {
public:
MyGlut();
virtual ~MyGlut();
void loop(int argc, char **argv);
void draw(void);
void displayFunc(boost::function<void()> func);
private:
boost::function<void()> display_callback;
};

void MyGlut::displayFunc(boost::function<void()> func)
{
glutDisplayFunc(func); // ERROR IN COMPILATION
}

void MyGlut::loop(int argc, char **argv)
{
glutInit(&argc,argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_MULTISAMPLE);
glutCreateWindow("Hello World");

//glutDisplayFunc(redraw); // Original way to pass C-function pointer
displayFunc( boost::bind(&MyGlut::draw, *this) );

}

Regards
