[C++-sig] Boost function call error

[Dirgesh Patel]

i am trying to wrap this function

bkimage* copy(bkimage *img, xint32_t pln0, xint32_t row0, xint32_t col0, 
xint32_t pln1, xint32_t row1, xint32_t col1)

and this is the line in the boost.cpp file
    def("copy", static_cast<bkimage* 
(*)(bkimage*,xint32_t,xint32_t,xint32_t,xint32_t,xint32_t,xint32_t)>(imageMorph_copy()) 
[return_value_policy<manage_new_object>() ]);


and i get this error:
../python/imageMorph_boost.cpp: In function `void init_module_imageMorph()':
../python/imageMorph_boost.cpp:107: error: invalid static_cast from type 
`imageMorph_copy' to type `bkimage*(*)(bkimage*, xint32_t, xint32_t, 
xint32_t, xint32_t, xint32_t, xint32_t)'

we are trying to return a ptr to bkimage. please advice.

thanks
dirgesh
