[Boost-users] [lambda] ->* vs. bind

Hello,

assume I want to do a std::find_if on  a container of A* with

struct A
{
  int foo;
};

Now I have two ways of writing the predicate for find_if:

1. find_if (cont.begin (), cont.end (), _1 ->* &A::foo     == 42);
2. find_if (cont.begin (), cont.end (), bind (&A::foo, _1) == 42);

They both perform as expected. Are there any differences that make
one of them preferrable?

Thanks,
Christian
