I'm testing a C++ class with a number of functions that all have basically the same form:
ClassUnderTest t;
DATATYPE data = { 0 };
try
{
t.SomeFunction( &data );
}
catch( const SomeException& e )
{
// log known error
}
catch( ... )
{
// log unknown error
}
Since there's a lot of these, I thought I'd write a function to do most of the heavy lifting:
template< typename DATA, typename TestFunction >
int DoTest( TestFunction test_fcn )
{
DATA data = { 0 };
try
{
test_fcn( &data );
}
catch( const SomeException& e )
{
// log known error
return FAIL;
}
catch( ... )
{
// log unknown error
return FAIL;
}
return TRUE;
}
ClassUnderTest t;
DoTest< DATATYPE >( boost::bind( &ClassUnderTest::SomeFunction, boost::ref( t ) ) );
But, the compiler doesn't seem to agree with me that this is a good idea...

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 SP1. If anybody can point out what I'm doing wrong, I would appreciate it.
