Using std::tr1::bind with std::vector::push_back

Question

Why my VS2010 can't compile this code:

#include <functional>
#include <vector>
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> vec;
    std::bind(&std::vector<int>::push_back, std::ref(vec), 1)();
    return 0;
}

Answer 1

You should be more specific why this doesn't seem to work for you.

#include <iostream>
#include <tr1/functional>
#include <vector>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    std::vector<int> vec;
    std::tr1::bind(&std::vector<int>::push_back, std::tr1::ref(vec), 1)();
    std::cout << "vec.size = " << vec.size() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "vec[0] = " << vec[0] << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

$ gcc -o test -lstdc++ test.cpp && ./test
vec.size = 1
vec[0] = 1

Update: Luc Danton is right, the issue here is the overloaded push_back. See question Are there boost::bind issues with VS2010 ?. Also, note that the issue is not limited to push_back, see Visual Studio 2010 and boost::bind.
