https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93243 Bug ID: 93243 Summary: replace boost::bind with C++11 lambdas Product: LibreOffice Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master Hardware: Other OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: LibreOffice Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: mstahl@redhat.com CC: libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org boost::bind is used to create function objects. the bundled boost headers require a lot of patches to suppress warnings so it would reduce the maintenance burden here to use standard C++11 features instead, and it would also make incremental rebuilds faster whenever boost is modified/patched. C++11 has both built-in lambda syntax to create function objects, and std::bind in <functional> which is very similar to boost::bind. the C++11 lambdas have the advantage that they are built-in syntax so are the fastest to compile; they are also often easier to read in the more complex nested boost::bind cases. there is one obscure pit-fall here: in very rare cases the function is passed as an argument to a preprocessor macro. lambdas may not work in this case because the preprocessor interprets commas in the capture list as macro argument separators and compilation fails. use std::bind in such cases. to find the offending code just "git grep boost::bind" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
