After the commit some error have appeared on the regression test (see below). It seems that the rvalue reference semantic has changed a lot for gcc. I will try to use the last design for this compiler version. Then I'll see what needs to be done for other compilers as soon as results appear on the regression tests page.

TBH, I wasn't really sure exactly what problem you were trying to address with that patch, and how it addressed that :/ Care to recap?

Note that I think we have 2 threads here on Boost.Thread, one regarding VS 2010 and one regarding Sun. I might be getting them confused.

Hi,

Sorry for all this noise.

I'm replaying to the error signaled on this thread and it concerns VS 2010 (not Sun) and concerns also other compilers (in particular I tested the example below with clang 3.0, gcc-4.6.2,4.7.0)

The signaled error was

E:\boost_1_49\boost/thread/future.hpp(1251): error C2535: 'boost::detail::task_object<R,F>::task_object(F)' : member function already defined or declared
          with
          [
              R=size_t,
              F=std::tr1::_Bind<size_t,size_t,std::tr1::_Bind1<std::tr1::_Callable_fun<size_t (__cdecl *const )(std::string &),false>,const char *>> &
          ]
          E:\boost_1_49\boost/thread/future.hpp(1247) : see declaration of 'boost::detail::task_object<R,F>::task_object'
          with
          [
              R=size_t,
              F=std::tr1::_Bind<size_t,size_t,std::tr1::_Bind1<std::tr1::_Callable_fun<size_t (__cdecl *const )(std::string &),false>,const char *>> &
          ]

The concerned code is
        template<typename R,typename F>
        struct task_object:
            task_base<R>
        {
            F f;
            task_object(F const& f_):
                f(f_)
            {}
            task_object(F&& f_):
                f(f_)
            {}
    template<typename R>
    class packaged_task
    {
        template <class F>
        explicit packaged_task(F const& f):
            task(new detail::task_object<R,F>(f)),future_obtained(false)
        {}
        explicit packaged_task(R(*f)()):
            task(new detail::task_object<R,R(*)()>(f)),future_obtained(false)
        {}
        template <class F>
        explicit packaged_task(F&& f):
            task(new detail::task_object<R,F>(f)),future_obtained(false) // *** 1
        {}

I think the error comes from the following line in the example (see ***2 below)

 async_func_pt<RetType>* p= new  async_func_pt<RetType> (boost::packaged_task<RetType>(f));

that should forward the reference while passing f.

 async_func_pt<RetType>* p= new  async_func_pt<RetType> (boost::packaged_task<RetType>(std::forward<F>(f)));

because otherwise I believe the deduced template type is F&. Am I right?

When F& was given to the constructor of packaged_task it instantiated task_object<R,F&>
As the same error were in the the Boost.Thread code in (1) above. The use of forward solves the issue

            task(new detail::task_object<R,F>(boost::forward<F>(f))),future_obtained(false) // *** 1

So the instantiated constructors were

            task_object( const F& & f_):
                f(f_)
            {}
            task_object(F& && f_):
                f(f_)
            {}

which produced the ambiguity.

There are yet some problems on the Boost.Thread implementation or with the compilers implementation.

When I want to pass functor, as in

A a(5);
boost::packaged_task<int> pt(a);

the constructor used is packaged_task(F&& f) and I will expect packaged_task(F const& f) to be use for.
Are my expectations correct?

The test futures/packaged_task/alloc_ctor_pass.cpp gives this context.

Thanks for your patience and perseverance.

Best,
Vicente

P.S. I have committed the example as test_ml.cpp with some modifications.
I have rolled back the code adding the forward calls and I'll commit it in trunk as sonn as the whole regression works on all the compiler I can test.
