bind Function

Binds arguments to a callable object.

template <class Fty, class T1, class T2, ..., class TN>  
unspecified bind(Fty fn, T1 t1, T2 t2, ..., TN tN);

template <class Ret, class Fty, class T1, class T2, ..., class TN>  
unspecified bind(Fty fn, T1 t1, T2 t2, ..., TN tN);

Parameters

Fty
The type of the object to call.

TN
The type of the Nth call argument.

fn
The object to call.

tN
The Nth call argument.

Remarks

The types Fty, T1, T2, ..., TN must be copy constructible, and INVOKE(fn, t1, ..., tN) must be a valid expression for some values w1, w2, ..., wN.

The first template function returns a forwarding call wrapper g with a weak result type. The effect of g(u1, u2, ..., uM) is INVOKE(f, v1, v2, ..., vN, result_of Class<Fty cv (V1, V2, ..., VN)>::type), where cv is the cv-qualifiers of g and the values and types of the bound arguments v1, v2, ..., vN are determined as specified below. You use it to bind arguments to a callable object to make a callable object with a tailored argument list.

The second template function returns a forwarding call wrapper g with a nested type result_type that is a synonym for Ret. The effect of g(u1, u2, ..., uM) is INVOKE(f, v1, v2, ..., vN, Ret), where cv is the cv-qualifiers of g and the values and types of the bound arguments v1, v2, ..., vN are determined as specified below. You use it to bind arguments to a callable object to make a callable object with a tailored argument list and with a specified return type.

The values of the bound arguments v1, v2, ..., vN and their corresponding types V1, V2, ..., VN depend on the type of the corresponding argument ti of type Ti in the call to bind and the cv-qualifiers cv of the call wrapper g as follows:

if ti is of type reference_wrapper<T> the argument vi is ti.get() and its type Vi is T&;

if the value of std::is_bind_expression<Ti>::value is true the argument vi is ti(u1, u2, ..., uM) and its type Vi is result_of<Ti cv (U1&, U2&, ..., UN&>::type;

if the value j of std::is_placeholder<Ti>::value is not zero the argument vi is uj and its type Vi is Uj&;

otherwise the argument vi is ti and its type Vi is Ti cv &.

For example, given a function f(int, int) the expression bind(f, _1, 0) returns a forwarding call wrapper cw such that cw(x) calls f(x, 0). The expression bind(f, 0, _1) returns a forwarding call wrapper cw such that cw(x) calls f(0, x).

The number of arguments in a call to bind in addition to the argument fn must be equal to the number of arguments that can be passed to the callable object fn. Thus, bind(cos, 1.0) is correct, and both bind(cos) and bind(cos, _1, 0.0) are incorrect.

The number of arguments in the function call to the call wrapper returned by bind must be at least as large as the highest numbered value of is_placeholder<PH>::value for all of the placeholder arguments in the call to bind. Thus, bind(cos, _2)(0.0, 1.0) is correct (and returns cos(1.0)), and bind(cos, _2)(0.0) is incorrect.

bind1st Function

A helper template function that creates an adaptor to convert a binary function object into a unary function object by binding the first argument of the binary function to a specified value.

template <class Operation, class Type>  
binder1st <Operation> bind1st (const Operation& _Func, const Type& left);

Parameters

_Func
The binary function object to be converted to a unary function object.

left
The value to which the first argument of the binary function object is to be bound.

Return Value

The unary function object that results from binding the first argument of the binary function object to the value left.

Remarks

Function binders are a kind of function adaptor and, because they return function objects, can be used in certain types of function composition to construct more complicated and powerful expressions.

If _Func is an object of type Operation and c is a constant, then bind1st ( _Func, c) is equivalent to the binder1st class constructor binder1st< Operation> ( _Func, c) and is more convenient.

// compile with: /EHsc  
#include <vector>  
#include <functional>  
#include <algorithm>  
#include <iostream>

    for (Iter = v1.begin(); Iter != v1.end(); Iter++)  
        cout << *Iter << " ";  
    cout << ")" << endl;  
  
    // Count the number of integers > 10 in the vector  
    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result1a;  
    result1a = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), bind1st(less<int>(), 10));  
    cout << "The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: "  
         << result1a << "." << endl;  
  
    // Compare: counting the number of integers > 5 in the vector  
    // with a user defined function object

The number of elements in v1 greater than 5 is: 4.  
The number of elements in v1 less than 10 is: 2.  

bind2nd Function

A helper template function that creates an adaptor to convert a binary function object into a unary function object by binding the second argument of the binary function to a specified value.

template <class Operation, class Type>  
binder2nd <Operation> bind2nd(const Operation& _Func, const Type& right);

Parameters

_Func
The binary function object to be converted to a unary function object.

right
The value to which the second argument of the binary function object is to be bound.

Return Value

The unary function object that results from binding the second argument of the binary function object to the value right.

Remarks

Function binders are a kind of function adaptor and, because they return function objects, can be used in certain types of function composition to construct more complicated and powerful expressions.

If _Func is an object of type Operation and c is a constant, then bind2nd ( _Func, c ) is equivalent to the binder2nd class constructor binder2nd<Operation> ( _Func, c ) and more convenient.

// compile with: /EHsc   
#include <functional>   
#include <iostream>   
  
int neg(int val)   
    {   
    return (-val);   
    }   
  
int main()   
    {   
    int i = 1;

mem_fn Function

Generates a simple call wrapper.

template <class Ret, class Ty>  
unspecified mem_fn(Ret Ty::*pm);

Parameters

Ret
The return type of the wrapped function.

Ty
The type of the member function pointer.

Remarks

The template function returns a simple call wrapper cw, with a weak result type, such that the expression cw(t, a2, ..., aN) is equivalent to INVOKE(pm, t, a2, ..., aN). It does not throw any exceptions.

The returned call wrapper is derived from std::unary_function<cv Ty*, Ret> (hence defining the nested type result_type as a synonym for Ret and the nested type argument_type as a synonym for cv Ty*) only if the type Ty is a pointer to member function with cv-qualifier cv that takes no arguments.

The returned call wrapper is derived from std::binary_function<cv Ty*, T2, Ret> (hence defining the nested type result_type as a synonym for Ret, the nested type first argument_type as a synonym for cv Ty*, and the nested type second argument_type as a synonym for T2) only if the type Ty is a pointer to member function with cv-qualifier cv that takes one argument, of type T2.

Example

// std_tr1__functional__mem_fn.cpp   
// compile with: /EHsc   
#include <functional>   
#include <iostream>   
  
class Funs   
    {

    void product(double x, double y)   
        {   
        std::cout << x << "*" << y << " == " << x * y << std::endl;   
        }   
    };   
  
int main()   
    {   
    Funs funs;   
  
    std::mem_fn(&Funs::square)(funs, 3.0);   
    std::mem_fn(&Funs::product)(funs, 3.0, 2.0);   
  
    return (0);

not1 Function

Returns the complement of a unary predicate.

template <class UnaryPredicate>  
unary_negate<UnaryPredicate>  
not1(const UnaryPredicate& pred);

Parameters

pred
The unary predicate to be negated.

Return Value

A unary predicate that is the negation of the unary predicate modified.

Remarks

If a unary_negate is constructed from a unary predicate Pred( x), then it returns !Pred( x).

Example

// functional_not1.cpp  
// compile with: /EHsc  
#include <vector>  
#include <functional>  
#include <algorithm>  
#include <iostream>  
  
using namespace std;  
  
int main()  
{  
    vector<int> v1;  
    vector<int>::iterator Iter;  
  
    int i;  
    for (i = 0; i <= 7; i++)  
    {  
        v1.push_back(5 * i);  
    }  
  
    cout << "The vector v1 = ( ";  
    for (Iter = v1.begin(); Iter != v1.end(); Iter++)  
        cout << *Iter << " ";  
    cout << ")" << endl;  
  
    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result1;  
    // Count the elements greater than 10  
    result1 = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(), bind2nd(greater<int>(), 10));  
    cout << "The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: "  
         << result1 << "." << endl;  
  
    vector<int>::iterator::difference_type result2;  
    // Use the negator to count the elements less than or equal to 10  
    result2 = count_if(v1.begin(), v1.end(),  
        not1(bind2nd(greater<int>(), 10)));  
  
    cout << "The number of elements in v1 not greater than 10 is: "  
         << result2 << "." << endl;  
}  
The vector v1 = ( 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 )  
The number of elements in v1 greater than 10 is: 5.  
The number of elements in v1 not greater than 10 is: 3.  

not2 Function

Returns the complement of a binary predicate.

template <class BinaryPredicate>  
binary_negate<BinaryPredicate> not2(const BinaryPredicate& _Func);

Parameters

_Func
The binary predicate to be negated.

#include <vector>  
#include <algorithm>  
#include <functional>  
#include <cstdlib>

   cout << "Resorted vector v1 = ( " ;  
   for ( Iter1 = v1.begin( ) ; Iter1 != v1.end( ) ; Iter1++ )  
      cout << *Iter1 << " ";  
   cout << ")" << endl;  
}  
Original vector v1 = ( 6262 6262 41 18467 6334 26500 19169 )  
Sorted vector v1 = ( 41 6262 6262 6334 18467 19169 26500 )  
Resorted vector v1 = ( 26500 19169 18467 6334 6262 6262 41 )  

ptr_fun Function

Helper template functions used to convert unary and binary function pointers, respectively, into unary and binary adaptable functions.

template <class Arg, class Result>  
pointer_to_unary_function<Arg, Result, Result (*)(Arg)> ptr_fun(Result (*_pfunc)(Arg));

template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>  
pointer_to_binary_function<Arg1, Arg2, Result, Result (*)(Arg1, Arg2)> ptr_fun(Result (*_pfunc)(Arg1, Arg2));

Parameters

_pfunc
The unary or binary function pointer to be converted to an adaptable function.

Return Value

The first template function returns the unary function pointer_to_unary_function < Arg, Result>(* _pfunc).

The second template function returns binary function pointer_to_binary_function < Arg1, Arg2, Result>(* _pfunc).

Remarks

A function pointer is a function object and may be passed to any Standard Template Library algorithm that is expecting a function as a parameter, but it is not adaptable. To use it with an adaptor, such as binding a value to it or using it with a negator, it must be supplied with the nested types that make such an adaptation possible. The conversion of unary and binary function pointers by the ptr_fun helper function allows the function adaptors to work with unary and binary function pointers.

Example

// functional_ptr_fun.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
    using namespace std;
    vector <char*> v1;
    vector <char*>::iterator Iter1, RIter;

    v1.push_back ( "Open" );
    v1.push_back ( "up" );
    v1.push_back ( "the" );
    v1.push_back ( "opalescent" );
    v1.push_back ( "gates" );

    cout << "Original sequence contains: " ;
    for ( Iter1 = v1.begin( ) ; Iter1 != v1.end( ) ; ++Iter1 )
        cout << *Iter1 << " ";
    cout << endl;

    // To search the sequence for "opalescent"
    // use a pointer_to_function conversion
    RIter = find_if( v1.begin( ), v1.end( ),
        not1 ( bind2nd (ptr_fun ( strcmp ), "opalescent" ) ) );

    if ( RIter != v1.end( ) )  
    {
        cout << "Found a match: " 
            << *RIter << endl;
    }
}

ref Function

Constructs a reference_wrapper from an argument.

template <class Ty>  
reference_wrapper<Ty>  
ref(Ty& arg);

template <class Ty>  
reference_wrapper<Ty>  
ref(reference_wrapper<Ty>& arg);

Return Value

A reference to arg; specifically, reference_wrapper<Ty>(arg).

Example

The following example defines two functions: one bound to a string variable, the other bound to a reference of the string variable computed by a call to ref. When the value of the variable changes, the first function continues to use the old value and the second function uses the new value.

#include <algorithm>  
#include <functional>  
#include <iostream>  
#include <iterator>  
#include <ostream>  
#include <string>  
#include <vector>  
using namespace std;  
using namespace std;  
using namespace std::placeholders;  
  
bool shorter_than(const string& l, const string& r) {  
    return l.size() < r.size();  
}  
  
int main() {  
    vector<string> v_original;  
    v_original.push_back("tiger");  
    v_original.push_back("cat");  
    v_original.push_back("lion");  
    v_original.push_back("cougar");  
  
    copy(v_original.begin(), v_original.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));  
    cout << endl;  
  
    string s("meow");  
  
    function<bool (const string&)> f = bind(shorter_than, _1, s);  
    function<bool (const string&)> f_ref = bind(shorter_than, _1, ref(s));  
  
    vector<string> v;  
  
    // Remove elements that are shorter than s ("meow")  
  
    v = v_original;  
    v.erase(remove_if(v.begin(), v.end(), f), v.end());  
  
    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));  
    cout << endl;  
  
    // Now change the value of s.  
    // f_ref, which is bound to ref(s), will use the  
    // new value, while f is still bound to the old value.  
  
    s = "kitty";  
  
    // Remove elements that are shorter than "meow" (f is bound to old value of s)  
  
    v = v_original;  
    v.erase(remove_if(v.begin(), v.end(), f), v.end());  
  
    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));  
    cout << endl;  
  
    // Remove elements that are shorter than "kitty" (f_ref is bound to ref(s))  
  
    v = v_original;  
    v.erase(remove_if(v.begin(), v.end(), f_ref), v.end());  
  
    copy(v.begin(), v.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));  
    cout << endl;  
}  
tiger cat lion cougar  
tiger lion cougar  
tiger lion cougar  
tiger cougar  

swap Function

Swaps two function objects.

template <class Fty>  
void swap(function<Fty>& f1,  
    function<Fty>& f2);

Parameters

Fty
The type controlled by the function objects.

f1
The first function object.

f2
The second function object.

Remarks

The function returns f1.swap(f2).

Example

// std_tr1__functional__swap.cpp   
// compile with: /EHsc   
#include <functional>   
#include <iostream>   
  
int neg(int val)   
    {   
    return (-val);   
    }   
  
int main()   
    {   
    std::function<int (int)> fn0(neg);   
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << "empty == " << !fn0 << std::endl;   
    std::cout << "val == " << fn0(3) << std::endl;   
  
    std::function<int (int)> fn1;   
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << "empty == " << !fn1 << std::endl;   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
  
    swap(fn0, fn1);   
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << "empty == " << !fn0 << std::endl;   
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << "empty == " << !fn1 << std::endl;   
    std::cout << "val == " << fn1(3) << std::endl;   
  
    return (0);   
    }  
  
empty == false  
val == -3  
empty == true  
  
empty == true  
empty == false  
val == -3
