Hi,

I have searched the web a bit for some debugging aid when using 
boost::function objects. The best I found, was a little aid for a little 
less step into calls on Visual Studio ("F11 Hell", 
http://askldjd.wordpress.com/2009/09/22/some-relief-in-debugging-boost-functions/).

What I'm about to digg depper into, is to get to know at runtime which 
(member) function is adressed.

I'm not believing that there is a platform or compiler independent way 
of doing so, but I think that it should be possible for a given compiler 
/ platform. What I'm thinking about is some sort of symbol lookup on the 
adressed function and possibly some virtual table and whatsoever.

Has anyone tried something like that and can give me some pointers?

Best wishes,
Matthias
