[Boost-users] [bind/function] memory allocation question

hi all,

i would like to use boost.bind and boost.function in a real-time
application, where heap memory allocation is not allowed.
according to the docs, boost.function may allocate memory on the heap,
but uses a small object optimization, to avoid heap allocation.

i'd be curious, if there is a way to figure out, whether heap allocation
may occur or not ... i would like to be able to use boost::function
objects, initialized by boost::bind, something like:

void callme (int some, int args)
{}

boost::function<void (void)> fn = boost::bind(callme, 1, 2);
fn();

thanks, tim
