Hello group,

Boost.Function is exhibiting differing behavior in different boost releases:

//--------------------------

struct F

{

void operator()() { }

};

F obj; // assume obj remains in scope for duration of sample

boost::function<void()> f1 = boost::ref( obj );

boost::function<void()> f2 = f1;

assert( f1 == boost::ref( obj ) );

assert( f2 == boost::ref( obj ) ); // Passes in 1.35.0, Fails in 1.39.0

boost::function<void()> f3 = boost::ref( obj );

boost::function<void()> f4;

f3.swap( f4 );

assert( f3 != boost::ref( obj ) );

assert( f4 == boost::ref( obj ) ); // Passes in 1.35.0, Fails in 1.39.0

//---------------------------

I'm assuming 1.35.0 is demonstrating the correct behavior whereas 1.39.0 is exhibiting a bug,

but I thought I'd defer to the group before I reported it. Am I correct?
