Some code samples I have collated in the sample below, that demonstrate how boost::function can be assigned with functors, ordinary functions, class member functions and overloaded class member functions respectively.

This post takes a look at using boost::bind as a means of calling class
member functions in an efficient and generic way. It basically summarizes what has
already been said at Björn Karlsson’s excellent Informit article. Since I found the post useful, I thought it worth reproducing here, using the same status class but containing all the examples and approaches he describes in one program. Continue reading
Introduction
What are smart pointers? They are a means of handling the problems associated with normal pointers, namely memory management issues like memory leaks, double-deletions, dangling pointers etc. This post gives a simple guide to creating your own smart pointer in C++. As a simple starting example, consider a basic template class which can be used to hold generic data types:

Brief Introduction
C++/CLI (Common Language Infrastructure) was designed to bring C++ to .NET as a means of developing managed code applications. Specifically it helps simplify writing managed code when using C++.
Suppose you are writing a WinForms application in Microsoft Visual Studio with a view to using C++ to write managed code. You may prefer to reuse existing libraries and headers written in C and C++ but are a little unsure as to how this is achieved exactly.

Using boost::scoped_array
When we want to dynamically allocate an array of objects for some purpose, the C++ programming language offers us the new and delete operators that are intended to replace the traditional malloc() and free() subroutines that are part of the standard library :
