hi,

// i'd like to be able to construct Gen from either a fun ptr (OK,
fine as is) or a function object. the code below is probably
adventurous...any suggestion?

int main(){

what
"
boost::bind(
            &Op::operator(),
   boost::ref(op)
   )
"

returns is not typeof "double (*fun_)()",
it's functor.

As Erik mentioned else thread, using template, but it's a solution
you don't even know the how to fill T in Gen<T>;

Stop reinventing another wheel, have a look at Boost.Function first,
use it, or refer to it, and write something exactly meets your need

In your case, you can use boost::function0<double> (equivalent to
boost::function<double()>) as your functor/function wrapper,
you can then use boost::bind to bind any function/functor who returns
double, or you can even write some adapter.

#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/function.hpp>

#include <functional>

double fun() { return 0.0; }

struct Adapter
     : std::unary_function<double, int>
{
     double operator() (int) { return 0.0; }
};

int getint(char c) { return 0; }

int main()
{
     boost::function0<double> f = &fun;
     double d = f();

     f = boost::bind(Adapter(), boost::bind(&getint, 10));
     d = f();
}
