[sigc] binding a arguement which is a reference



I found in the archives the following message: See the end of this post:


I am using sigc++-1.2 and I get a similar message to that mentioned below
whenever the parameter I am trying to bind is a reference
in the method mentioned in the "slot(...)" call.

Is this a restriction or a bug?? Does the code need to be fixed
or a note put in the documentation the the parameter that you bind
can not be a reference in the called method?


Could this be an example of the famous reference to reference problem??

I made a workaround in my code by changing the called method,
replace the referenced type T& to boost::reference_wrapper<T>.
I got reference_wrapper from the boost libraries.
The referenced_wrapper type has "value" semantics in that it
has default constructors, copy constructors and assignment operators.

What is the official libsigc+ approach to this problem?

I shoudl have said I already tried that :-(

same error:

Cool, I'll be missing my boost libs less :-)
(For the record, I also tried boost::ref(i) to no avail :
/usr/include/sigc++-1.2/sigc++/bind.h: Dans static member function 
static   void SigC::AdaptorBindData1_<C1>::dtor(void*) [with C1 = 
int&] :
/usr/include/sigc++-1.2/sigc++/bind.h:167:   instantiated from 
`SigC::Slot0<R> SigC::bind(const SigC::Slot1<R, C1>&, A1) [with A1 = 
boost::reference_wrapper<int>, R = void, C1 = int&]'
testLibSigC.cxx:11:   instantiated from here
/usr/include/sigc++-1.2/sigc++/bind.h:116: error: destructor name 
`~int&' does not match type `int' of expression

Now I'm really holding my breath for libsigc++-2.0 in gtkmm.

Thanks again for your kind help !
