template argument deduction/substitution failed, when boost::binding a templated function

I'm trying to boost bind a particular function for use later, the following code is what throws a compile error the first function is the one I'm trying to bind to generate a boost function, the second statement is the actual bind statement, the third statement is the function inside which this bind statement is written and finally there are the errors:

template <typename T>
void ValidOperation::CheckDoubleBound(
    diagnostic_updater::DiagnosticStatusWrapper& stat,
    const std::string& name,
    const T& variable_instance,
    T upper_bound_value,
    T lower_bound_value,
    const SeverityLevel severity,
    const std::string& message_success,
    const std::string& message_lower_fail,
    const std::string& message_upper_fail)

and the bind looks like this

    auto func = boost::bind(&ValidOperation::CheckDoubleBound<T>,
                            this,
                            _1,
                            name,
                            boost::cref(variable_instance),
                            upper_bound_value,
                            lower_bound_value,
                            severity,
                            message_success,
                            message_upper_fail,
                            message_lower_fail);

inside this function

template <typename T>
void ValidOperation::AddDoubleBoundConstraint(
    const std::string& name,
    const T& variable_instance,
    const T upper_bound_value,
    const T lower_bound_value,
    const SeverityLevel severity,
    const std::string& message_success,
    const std::string& message_lower_fail,
    const std::string& message_upper_fail)

                             message_lower_fail);

I'm using C++14 and gcc 7.4.0.

Edit: This worked

auto func = [this,
                 name,
                 variable_instance,
                 upper_bound_value,
                 lower_bound_value,
                 severity,
                 message_success,
                 message_lower_fail,
                 message_upper_fail](
                    diagnostic_updater::DiagnosticStatusWrapper& stat) {
        this->CheckDoubleBound<T>(stat,
                                  name,
                                  variable_instance,
                                  upper_bound_value,
                                  lower_bound_value,
                                  severity,
                                  message_success,
                                  message_lower_fail,
                                  message_upper_fail);
    };

If someone could explain why this works and not the former? Thanks!

Someone pointed me to the answer, it's that boost::bind can take 9 arguments at max and I have ten including the class pointer.

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/bind/doc/html/bind.html#bind.implementation.number_of_arguments
