No matching function for call Error using boost::bind

Question

I am trying to write a parallel bubblesort function. I am running into an error when using boost::bind:

void swap(vector<int>& input, int i, int j)
{
    if (input[i] > input[j])
    {   
        int temp = input[j];
        input[j] = input[i];
        input[i] = temp;
    }   
    return;
}

void parallel_bubblesort(vector<int>& input, int, int)
{

    int i, j, temp;

    for (i = 0; i < input.size(); i++)
    {   
        boost::asio::io_service ioService;
        boost::thread_group threadpool;
        for (j = 0; j < input.size() - 1; j++)
        {   
            ioService.post(boost::bind(&swap, boost::ref(input), 2 * j + i % 2, 2 * j + 1 + i % 2));
        }   

        for (int t = 0; t < NUM_THREADS; t++)
        {   
            threadpool.create_thread(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &ioService));
        }   

        threadpool.join_all();
        ioService.stop();
    }   
    return;
}

It snags on the line

ioService.post(boost::bind(&swap, boost::ref(input), 2 * j + i % 2, 2 * j + 1 + i % 2));

The error says

no matching function for call to ‘bind(<unresolved overloaded function type>, std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >&, int, int)’

This seems weird, because none of these are overloaded at all, does anybody know what this means?

Answer 1

You are probably doing using namespace std; somewhere, and std::swap is a thing. I suggest you simply rename your swap function to something else.
