Hi,

I have problems with the attached code (test.cpp, extracted from the 
original class only with the relevant code).
The member template  constructor of CCycleThread takes an argument and 
passes this to boost bind. The binding is to a another member template 
method which is the thread function for boost thread:

boost::thread(boost::bind(&CCycleThread::execute<T>,this,t)

The template parameter type is deduced by the argument type passed by 
the user.

If the type is an ordinary function the code works fine. If the argument 
itself is another boost bind object the compilation fails!

I tested the following within the constructor:

auto test = boost::bind(&CCycleThread::execute<T>,this,t) // -> ok
test();	// -> compile error

The call of the operator() of the bind object is the problem.

Interestingly, if one binding is boost::bind and the other one is 
std::bind the code works.
Any ideas what's the problem? How can I fix this? Using std and boost 
bind is more a hack than a real solution :/
