[boost] Nested Boost Binds

From: Sergey Lukin (lukin.s.v_at_[hidden])

I'm new to boost libraries, sorry if this is an off topic question.

I have the following problem:
I want to call method from the PDC class indirectly from another class
(Component).
Method1 from the Component class should be invoked by asynchronous timer.

When I do call like this:
y.Method1(10, boost::bind (DPC::Print1, &x, 2));
Everything works

When I do call like this:
t.async_wait(boost::bind(boost::bind(DPC::Print1,&x, 2), &t));
Everything works either

But when I try to perform indirect call of Print1 from Method1 which is
called by a timer compiler reports a lot of bugs in the boost::bind code
(see part of the log)
t.async_wait(boost::bind(boost::bind(Component::Method1, &y, 10, boost::bind
(DPC::Print1, &x, 2)), &t));
or
t.async_wait(boost::bind(Component::Method1, &y, 10, boost::bind
(DPC::Print1, &x, 2), &t));

Maybe somebody had the similar problem before or knows how to solve it.
Could you please help me with this.

Kind regards

Sergey
