But I used boost::bind to get a function pointer to hide the implicit this. I thought that the
purpose of boost::bind was for that reason. It seems that the way I did it was nearly successful
other than function::target<>() returns a __cdecl function pointer instead of an __stdcall one, as
indicated by the error that MSVC returns.
Is my interpretation of what I'm seeing incorrect?
BTW, I included the two defines,
#define BOOST_BIND_ENABLE_STDCALL
#define BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL
to be able to bind __stdcall member function with the this object pointer (I forgot to mention this in
the original post).
