<h3><a name="err_overloaded">Binding an overloaded function</a></h3>
<p>An attempt to bind an overloaded function usually results in an error, as there
is no way to tell which overload was meant to be bound. This is a common
problem with member functions with two overloads, const and non-const, as in
this simplified example:</p>
<pre>struct X
{
int&amp; get();
int const&amp; get() const;
};
int main()
{
boost::bind( &amp;X::get, _1 );
}
</pre>
<P>The ambiguity can be resolved manually by casting the (member) function pointer
to the desired type:</P>
<pre>int main()
{
boost::bind( static_cast&lt; int const&amp; (X::*) () const &gt;( &amp;X::get ), _1 );
}
</pre>
<P>Another, arguably more readable, alternative is to introduce a temporary
variable:</P>
<pre>int main()
{
int const&amp; (X::*get) () const = &amp;X::get;
boost::bind( get, _1 );
}
</pre>
