using std::bind1st

I'm having a bit of a problem with std::bind1st. I'm trying to create a thread using bind1st to bind a stream to the first argument of a 1 argument function, and then use that for executing the child thread. However I get errors. What am I doing wrong? I verified that the function passed to callback meets the requirement of taking a single iostream object as a parameter.

template<typename T>
void Socket::ServerSocket::ProcessRequests(T callback) const
{
	while(listen(this->m_socket, SOMAXCONN) != SOCKET_ERROR)
	{
		Socket::ServerSocket::ServerSocketDevice device(this->m_socket);
		boost::iostreams::stream_buffer<Socket::ServerSocket::ServerSocketDevice> buffer;
		buffer.open(device);
		std::iostream stream(&buffer);
		boost::thread child(std::bind1st(callback, stream));
	}

Copy and paste the compiler output, as opposed to the error list. The latter prints only the first line of each error, making it close to useless for fixing template errors. Also, what's the code you're using it with?
If T is a function pointer type in your particular template instantiation, you'll need to wrap callback with ptr_fun() at some point as bind1st and friends expect functors with appropriate internal typedefs.

// untestedtemplate<typename Funtoid, bool IsFuncPtr>struct start_thread{    static void run(Functoid f, std::iostream &stream)    {        boost::thread(std::bind1st(f, stream));    }};template<typename Funtoid>struct start_thread<Functoid, true>{    static void run(Functoid f, std::iostream &stream)    {        boost::thread(std::bind1st(std::ptr_fun(f), stream));    }};template<typename Functoid>void make_thread(Functoid f, std::iosream &stream){    const bool is_ptr = boost::is_pointer<Functoid>::value;    start_thread<Functoid, is_ptr>::run(f, stream);}template<typename T>void Socket::ServerSocket::ProcessRequests(T callback) const{	while(listen(this->m_socket, SOMAXCONN) != SOCKET_ERROR)	{		Socket::ServerSocket::ServerSocketDevice device(this->m_socket);		boost::iostreams::stream_buffer<Socket::ServerSocket::ServerSocketDevice> buffer;		buffer.open(device);		std::iostream stream(&buffer);		make_thread(callback, stream);	}// ...


EDIT: or just use boost::bind

Also, I'm not sure the way you have things set up is valid. The stream you pass in may be destroyed during the child threads execution i.e. it may end up operating on a dangling reference.

Thanks for the suggestion. I changed to boost::bind, and that fixed most of it. As for the stream concern, I figured that would be a problem, but couldn't get far enough to tell for sure.
