How would you construct a boost::shared_ptr. Assign regular pointer with boost::shar get() method of shared_ptr gives you the raw pointer.

Correct use of Boost::Function? Define a function after the fact.... Well you can try to do it with templates.As far as I know boost::bind is templated too.Why do you want to hide boost::bind?It is a part of the new C++ standard you know.
