Hi All,

I'm trying to connect a simple void returning function to multiple signals of varying signature, I can see some references mentioning that it's possible using boost::lambda::bind and boost::spirit::bind, But I keep getting compilation errors, Is there something wrong with the following code? Or is there a better way to do it? or is it not possible to do?

Boost version: Release 1.46.1

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

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

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


I'm getting the following compilation errors when using boost::lambda::bind:
