<p>The problem arises because <tt><nobr>bar</nobr></tt> takes a
reference argument. The Standard defines
<tt><nobr>std::mem_fun_ref</nobr></tt> such that it creates a function
object whose <tt><nobr>second_argument_type</nobr></tt> will be
<tt><nobr>std::ostream&</nobr></tt>.</p>

<p>The call to <tt><nobr>bind2nd</nobr></tt> creates a

<p>Since our operation's <tt><nobr>second_argument_type</nobr></tt> is
<tt><nobr>std::ostream&</nobr></tt>, the type of <tt>y</tt> in the
constructor would be <tt><nobr>std::ostream&&</nobr></tt>. Since you
cannot have a reference to a reference, at this point we should get a
compilation error because references to references are illegal in C++
(but see <a
href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html#106">
C++ Standard core language active issues list</a>).</p>
