 Comparing Boost.Function function objects doesn't work with Visual Studio
 2005 SP 1 -the compiler reports error C2666: 'boost::operator ==' : 4
 overloads have similar conversions.

 {{{
 #include <boost/function.hpp>

 void foo() { }
 void bar() { }

 int main()
 {
         boost::function<void ()> f = &foo, b = &bar;
         f == b;
 }
 }}}

 I filed a bug report for Boost.Signals before (see
 http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1076). As I think it's actually a
 problem with Boost.Function I report it again addressing the correct
 library. I guess #1076 can be closed if this bug in Boost.Function is
 fixed.
