[C++-sig] using function objects as getters/setters for the properties

[Gennadiy Rozental]

Hi, 

I need to implement some translation in a getter and setter for particular field.

I am getting compile time errors, I am not sure how to fix. I am using 1.33.1.

Here is what I do:

template<typename T>
struct Getter {
    explicit Getter( MyClass T::* mem ) : m_member( mem ) {}

    bp::object  operator()( T const& obj ) const
    {
        return /* conversion here */;
    }

    MyClass T::* m_member;
};

template<typename T>
Getter<T>
make_getter( MyClass T::* mem )
{
    return Getter<T>( mem );
}

....

    bp::class_< MyClass >( "MyClass", bp::no_init )
        .add_property( "field", make_getter( &MyClass::field ) )

I see following errors:

And lots more like this. I've tried to add make_function around. Did not help.

Any pointers? Thanks.
