Which one would that be?

Possibilities:
1) Use boost::bind and cast max to the right function type (ugly):
    bind(static_cast<X(*)(X, X)>(&std::max), ....)

OR

2) Use boost::phoenix (if you have 1.47 or above):

    2.1) Adapt the max function:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/phoenix/doc/html/phoenix/modules/function/adapting_functions.html#phoenix.modules.function.adapting_functions.boost_phoenix_adapt_function

OR

   2.2) Use some shortcut syntax: boost::phoenix::bind<X(X, X)>(&std::max, ...)

HTH,
