Binding to a weak_ptr

Is there a way to std::bind to a std::weak_ptr? I'd like to store a "weak function" callback that automatically "disconnects" when the callee is destroyed.

I know how to create a std::function using a shared_ptr:

std::function<void()> MyClass::GetCallback()
{
    return std::function<void()>(std::bind(&MyClass::CallbackFunc, shared_from_this()));
}

However the returned std::function keeps my object alive forever. So I'd like to bind it to a weak_ptr:

std::function<void()> MyClass::GetCallback()
{
    std::weak_ptr<MyClass> thisWeakPtr(shared_from_this());
    return std::function<void()>(std::bind(&MyClass::CallbackFunc, thisWeakPtr));
}

But that doesn't compile. (std::bind will accept no weak_ptr!) Is there any way to bind to a weak_ptr?

I've found discussions about this (see below), but there seems to be no standard implementation. What is the best solution for storing a "weak function", in particular if Boost is not available?

Discussions / research (all of these use Boost and are not standardized):

• weak_function
• weak_ptr binding
• "weak" binding (and a fix for it)
• weak_fn
• Another weak_fn
